Intimate Strangers

The change in the ambiance between the beginning which was about childhood friends getting together as adults for dinner, and the joy of this reunion, vs. The 2nd half of the film where the pain of secrets revealed will be difficult to heal, some more than others. Well done! Synopsis: Four friends reunite after a long time and play a game over dinner in which they have to share all new incoming messages and calls on their cell phones. The game starts out fun, but as the game goes on, it starts to reveal each other's secrets....

The 2 main variables for a confined movie are: strong characterization and strong script. This movie has it both. All actresses and actors give their best to make their characters come to live. Almost 2 hours of movie duration just went by because of this. And kudos to the scriptwriters and editors who have done a very good job. The only flaw in this movie is the alternate ending. It really kills off the vibe that has been painstakingly built from the start. If not for that, I would give this movie 9/10 star. That's how good this movie is.

I watched this with subtitles, enjoyed how flawless the conversations and how easy it was to connect with the characters. Their stories changed, and your perspective changed. We, audience, attended this friends gathering, invited to join in their stories and secrets. It is shot in a way that makes you feel you are actually in the apartment, easy on the eye to follow, and as their secrets unravel you, like the rest of the people in the room start judging these characters. The story/ies evolve to cover all aspects of family relationships, midlife crisis, love, romance, children and friendship, in less than hours... It is a very good movie, story, camera, directing all good.. Highly recommended.

Naybe cuz i watched kill mobile first, its so funny, but many of the details are the same, lot of the dialogues are recognized, so weird to make a copy of the movie, not sure which one got released first, but i loved the chinese version, although i am a big fan of korean movies. the filming is better in this one, some of the good lines in dialogue, but the chinese one has a better scenario and story, more logical and more believable, more intensive, no wasted scenes, this one has much extra meaningless stuff. i recommend kill mobile 2018 as well.
