Leave your thoughts about Ode to My Father.
| The New Paper (Singapore)Tan Kee YunHwang is excellent in his portrayal of the selfless everyday man. Lost alumnus Kim Yun Jin, who plays Deok Soo's wife, is amazing too. |
| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezHeartwarming, brilliantly acted and unexpectedly funny, Ode to My Father is an epic odyssey through Korean history that feels so personal, it is impossible not to be engrossed in the emotion of the story. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelIt's too bad the treatment of Capt. LaRue will likely put off those who are familiar with him as a historical figure, because the work of Hwang and Oh give Ode real heart. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid Noh[Director JK] Youn proves himself a truly versatile and accomplished filmmaker. |
| User ReviewDavid LGreat movie. Dramatic, funny, sad, well acted. |
| User ReviewBonnie CAn epic South Korean melodrama. Loved it! |
| User ReviewJoe MWhat a great movie. Not many movies make me cry, but this sure did. If you're not afraid to FEEEL, and are comfortable with intense emotions, then you will enjoy this movie. |
| User ReviewErick KThis movie should be the nominee for Academy best foreign movie. |
| User ReviewBob ETraily makes this look like a very important, and emotional film, plan to drive 20 miles to only theater carrying the non-standard movies! |
| User ReviewCarlos MSpanning decades and several historical events from Korean War, post War era, 1960s industrialization, the Vietnam War, it was really heart wrenching. I think it works well across cultures. The subtitles were well done and translated the film as best as translations go. Being Korean, I was fortunate to not only "read" but understand the language, nuances, and significance of the events portrayed in the story of one man and his family. Almost guaranteed to make you cry. |
