About This Movie

Press (2017) is an understated gem that delves into the mundane existence of Yeong-il, a middle-aged factory worker. The atmosphere is heavy with a sense of isolation, beautifully juxtaposed by the arrival of Bo-ra, a young girl who disrupts his monotonous routine. The film relies on intimate character studies rather than flashy storytelling; it’s all about those quiet moments that reveal deeper truths about life and connection. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the weight of each scene. The performances are raw and genuine, drawing you into Yeong-il's world. It's not flashy, but there's something quite distinctive about how it captures the intricacies of human relationships.
