Review 726: Minari

  

In 1983, Jacob Yi moves his family to an Arkansas farm in search of his own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother.

It is a poigant story of a finely observed portrait of family relations, rurual American homes and what really makes a home

Through the Yi family, writer/director Lee Isaac Chung shows that the strongest families are the ones that defined by overcoming hardship and  He never sensationalises the story

Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead delivers a  performance playing Jacob Yi 

the production design is splendid; the caravan that the Yi family live feels like a lived in caravan. The score by Emile Mosseri is gorgeous.
