A Girl at My Door
(2014)
Written & directed
by July Jung this film stars Bae Doona, Kim Sae-ron and Song
Sae-byeok. After a personal scandal a lesbian police officer is
transferred to a small fishing town to be chief of police where she
tries to help an abused teenage girl.
This film does a good
job of dealing with heavy subjects like abuse, alcoholism and
prejudice against lesbianism in a low key way that build up to
something unsettling. The story leaves the viewer slightly unsure
about the relationship between some of the characters which is good
for keeping you thinking. There are good performances and direction
which stop the material becoming melodramatic of sensationalised.
4/5
