Review of 'Minari'

Somewhat shapeless and occasionally boring film about Korean immigrants trying to make a life as farmers (and chicken sexers) in rural Arkansas.

It mainly avoids the usual cliches about immigrant life, but doesn't have much to put it their place. It just sort of meanders on, until the moment of redemption when the family comes together at the end.

Recommended by someone as one of the best films of the year, can't see why. Watched via informal distribution, laptop, VLC and Chromecast.
