The Burglars

About This Movie

The Burglars (2025) offers a unique mix of melancholic drama and quirky heist elements. It really dives into the bond that forms between Eunja, this elderly woman who's seen better days, and Palbok, the somewhat charming burglar. Their heists take place in quiet, almost serene settings, which creates this odd contrast between their criminal activities and the tranquil countryside. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for character moments that make you reflect on choices and regrets. It’s not flashy; the practical effects are understated, yet effective, grounding the film in a sense of realism that's refreshing. Performances feel genuine, especially from the leads, who bring warmth and depth to their unusual partnership.
