Great reaction, great movie. My 2nd fav of 2022 (after Anatomy of a Fall), I cry every time. I have so many things I could say about this movie but I wont post 1000 words lol. You wouldn't know this was Celine Song's debut, she's a playwright and based the character + story on her own life. Funnily enough her husband wrote his debut screenplay, which became Challengers (the Zendaya movie) which also contains a 3-person complicated romantic situation... hmmmmm........ 👀👀 You picked up on so many of the shots and callbacks that took me a couple watches to get. The use of long takes is fantastic, down with fast sloppy cuts! I LOVE how they subverted and directly addressed the "evil white husband" trope. They do such a good job of having Nora's scenes with Hae-Sung feel romantic and Nora and Arthur's scenes feel mundane, but they've been dating 12 years and married 7... it's not going to be as electric, it's real. A worse movie would have injected unnecessary conflict. Instead we get this real, raw portrait. In-Yun indeed. Maybe the "grounded" film you're thinking of in the outro was Aftersun, I remember you having a similar take there.

I love watching James trying so hard not to cry 🤣 so happy you noticed the storytelling of the camera work, when Arthur says "You Dream In A Language I Don't Understand" it hits me evey time its one of my favorite lines in cinema, and when he's waiting to hug her at the end 😭 such a perfect film thanks again James

Another film with some similarities I'd highly recommend is DRIVE MY CAR 2021

Great reaction man, hope you watch About Time one day. It’s an all time favorite of the Drama/Romance genre. It’s about a romantic relationship of course but the true heart of the film is a father/son relationship which I’m a sucker for.
