CriticsCritics: 92
AudienceAudience: 7.7

After losing his long-held job at a paper mill, a family man struggles to find work in an increasingly automated economy. Under mounting financial and personal pressure, he considers a shocking strategy to reclaim his former status and secure a future for those who depend on him.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like unsettling Korean dark comedies such as Parasite, but Not for you if graphic violence, bleak themes, or exaggerated humor are deal-breakers.
