Nice movie. As a matter of fairness, Nora unambiguously states that they moved the date of their marriage ahead of when they planned to just for the benefit of her getting a green card earlier, where the relationship was clearly honest. Thus, I wouldn’t suspect any bad intentions here. It’s a well constructed movie starting off when they were just 12 years old and affected to each other, then she migrated to Canada and subsequently to the U.S. as a scholar. The opening scene is reminiscent of the third act when all three of them meet in New York, in a mutually emotionally challenging situation. The ending was quite immersive but also sufficiently conclusive what Nora was feeling and where she was headed.

The movie plot does exist in actual life. There are marriages happening for the sake of green card. Whether the married couple in this movie survive the test of time or for her to leave her husband for her childhood sweetheart. after getting her citizenship. The movie shows she has feelings towards her childhood sweetheart based on her body language. Didn’t the lady married her husband for green card as what the husband in the movie stated? Unfortunately the husband is more in-love than his wife to him. Else why would she be crying when her childhood sweetheart left to return back home to S.Korea.? Anyway, marriage is a big step for every couple in-love . I have heard positive and negative outcome between a citizen and non citizen or those who marry for green card.

Especially in the 21st century, when tech allows us to reconnect with others from our past, this is a powerful reminder of how love can make a life long impression on us; and what would we do if certain people “resurfaced” in our lives? This story balances fantasy, reality, life transitions, and just the human experience in a way that very few films have ever done before. Exquisitely written, directed and acted. Feels very much like an intimate (stage) theatre experience writ large on a screen. Truly remarkable storytelling. Run, don’t walk, to see this film.
