This movie will touch you! It will leave you speechless and for the next few days you will be thinking about some scenes you saw in this movie.

The storyline is very good, the saddest thing here is that this movie wasn't made up or scripted. No, this movie was made because it really happend. The acting in this movie is amazing, ecxpecially the children. Damn they made it so believe-able, the emotions, the silinces just everything.

I gave the rewatch value a 9, but I won't rewatch is. This movie was really heavy. That is what it made so great, they didn't coverd things up, they showed it how it really happend. The only time I'll watch this movie is when someone will ask me to watch it with them.

Overall is this a must-see movie, I'd recommend it but you have got to be strong to watch this. It's not for the faint hearted people.

well how do i say this.....this was one of the best movies i have ever watched. the acting was fantastic. especially the children. at first i was scared to watch this movie because of the graphic scenes i was afraid of. but i dont regret forcing myself to. its a story that should be told. to raise awareness of the atrocities that happen in the world. this movie made me cry so much and i usually dont cry easily. BE WARNED this isnt an easy movie to deal with so if ur faint at heart and love happy endings this movie is not recommended. i mean not much i can say since the other reviews pretty much said it all but a very sad, emotional, and life changing movie.

I don't want to give this movie a high score because it's obvious how awful the situation was in real life. It pains me to think that this happened over 10 years ago and situations similar to this are still happening in the world. The movie sickened me and I felt as if my soul was as black as a tunnel. Many reviews mentioned crying however by the end I was so built up on rage and hatred. For those with weak hearts, I recommend you to prepare yourselves for what you are about to witness. The actors did a great job portraying the actual situation/film plotline. However, I cannot help but feel pain for the innocent and disgust for our corrupt world. damn that's deep af <.< just expressing some kept in rage (the end scene was so painfully realistic however I am certainly glad that the teacher is gone once and for all. 1 down, 3 more to go.

great movie dealing with an extremely sensitive subject matter.

my one gripe with it was that it gets very uncomfortable to watch (trigger warnings all over the place) as the movie tends to be extremely graphic when describing and showing the type of abuse suffered by these children.

if you can stomach it, go for it.

the story is quite not pleasing into the eyes if your going to watch it. but its based on the reality life so you need to deal with it. the actor /actresses act well very convincing. the music is good. As for me I won't watched this ever again. I can't move while watching this kind of movie. I can't believe it really exist even I've experience this kind of physical abuse. I just seat on my bed while watching this I just giggling with anger. Why do they need to do those things are they human or demon opps sorry for the word. I just spill out my feelings towards the movie. I really cried out of this movie. Thanks to the producer who made this it gave an open eyes to all who are parents are being abusive with their children.

Going to preface this review by letting you know that the sexual abuse in this movie is pretty graphic. And somewhat frequent. If that's something you can't handle, I would suggest not watching this movie.

Story: The story, sadly true, is about deaf and mute children who suffer constant sexual abuse from the people paid to protect them.

The movie is a lot more graphic than I would have originally imagined it being, and in the end, that's what makes this movie so amazing. It seems so incredibly real the whole time you're watching it that it just breaks your heart. Every scream, every tear, and every bit of abuse you witness on screen just tears you up inside.

I really enjoy the pace of the movie. We get some time to see the main characters, build a connection with them, and see how affected they are by the abuse, and this movie leaves a huge impact on you because of that.

Acting/Cast: Gong Yoo has been my favorite actor from the second I started watching Korean dramas/movies. Given the storyline and his ability to always grab me with his acting, I knew I wouldn't regret my choice to watch this movie. I was definitely not disappointed by this man. His ability to just jump into any role and play it perfectly is fantastic.

Baek Seung Hwan, Kim Hyun Soo, and Jung In Seo all deserve praise for their acting in this movie. They all managed to portray abused children so perfectly that you believe every single second of it. When they cry, you cry; when you have to sit there and watch them get sexually molested, you cry.
If you're anything like me though, even though each of their stories breaks your heart, Baek Seung Hwan's acting/character will just kill you.

Jang Gwang also did a fantastic job in his role. Not only did he have to play twins; he had to play twins that both sexually molested students.

Music: I only remember two songs from this movie, and that's only because they play a pretty vital role. Normally I would score low for that, but the lack of music playing in the movie really helped. Instead of distracting you with music, it lets you focus on everything that's happening.

Rewatch Value: So far, I've watched this twice. I'm sure I'll watch it many more times in the future.

Overall: Overall, this movie is sheer perfection. It's brilliantly told, the acting is spectacular, and it manages to just make you sit there and think long after you've finished it.

Firstly, be warned that some scenes are *extremely* disturbing and this movie is for mature audience that can handle very sensitive issues. The movie is also based on a true story.
That being said, the story is a very painful face slap of injustice and a sad reality. It's a great movie for it does exactly what its meant to do and you feel exactly what your meant to feel. It's really sickening to see how inhuman people can be. The characters are very authentic and the actors delivered well.
Though it's a good movie worth the watch, I don't know how many people would enjoy the re-watch.

I don't exactly know if I should say I loved it or hated it. It had me in tears from the start. It was amazing in how they did this.
I usually don't watch things like this put the plot pulled me in. Its based off a true story which made it harder to watch.
The acting was very good. I didn't think young kids could act like this. The kids were the ones that made me cry the most.
So I want people to watch this. I want people to watch and see how good these actors are and how good the movie is. I loved it. No, I won't re-watch it. My heart can't handle that.
Its more then I expected.

Story: Heartbreaking, but a story that needed to be told nonetheless. This goes to prove that justice isn't always served up as much as it should be. This will have you fighting with yourself whether or not to look at the screen, because it tugs at an area deep inside your heart. Have a box of tissues ready along with something to relieve your anger and frustrations on, because this is going to reach in and pull emotions out of you that can't be ignored. Be warned this is a movie meant for mature audiences because there are many scenes with graphic images and dark concepts not meant for the weak of heart.

Acting/Cast: Phenomenal acting and great cast. This must have been hard for the children to act out. It takes real skill to portray the emotions in the way these kids did without having actually experiencing such events. They were truly talented. Only thing I'm left wondering is if the people who portrayed the antagonists had to take breaks in between scenes due to the overall stress of the story. This had to have been hard on the actors as well due to the overall story.

Music: I only recall a couple songs being played in the movie, but the instrumentals and music were decent.

Rewatch Value: This was an emotionally hard video to watch, and to many it might be too hard to watch again. But I could see myself watching it again, and possibly trying to get a friend to watch it with me as well.

Overall, this was a great movie, but you better be emotionally prepared for what you're about to see. If you're expecting an ending where justice is served in full, you'll be very disappointed. I highly recommend this film to someone who wants their hearts to be truly touched and for someone who wants to see the darker realities that exist in today's world. To me, this is a must-see. In fact, I think this could have easily been drawn out to be turned into a minidrama series.

if you have a heart, you will be left in tears and rage

FIRST IMPRESSION
Am SILENCED after watching this movie. I ain’t unable to explain the pain I feel which is making me think of this diseased society where no one is safe. WHY? Because the justice sides with the money and victims are SILENCED to let them live in the society.

PLOT VIEW
The first half of the movie is showing us the crime being taken place and the second half is a courtroom drama. Every moment, every scene, every dialogue, breaks the soul into a thousand pieces, mere thinking this isn't just a movie but is a real case, some disabled children actually had to go through this. The movie makes one uncomfortable with explicit scenes and its supposed to make you feel that way to get in the shoes of a spectator where you did nothing.
the movie shows also show vast discrimination happening in society poorly people are brought with money, where rich people take bribes. No interpreter for the disabled people which like humiliating them for being that way.

What makes this adult do such felony because they know the society is of respectable people who will remain silent for their reputation. The prosecutors, judges, teachers, schools, and parents will remain silent if they are bought with money. How do such people live by selling their professional integrity for few bucks? But as human beings where does our soul die and we fail to protect such kids. Not just kids but teens, grown-ups too and not just girls but boys too. If the crime is committed the perpetrator's good reputation and deeds are taken into account on the other side victims dressing, behavior is described, why such discrimination, just because they are underprivileged? There should be no less than execution as the punishment for such crimes.

ACTING/CAST
Gong Yoo never disappoints with his acting chops. He is remarkable with an average art teacher reputation, we can see how he represents all of us who wants to but fight. All the kids were no less, each expression without saying anything they just said their story to the world.
Yun Doo, Yoo Ri, and Min Soo have shown a wonderful performance. Min Soo specially sweeps you off the feet with his intense character portrayal and storyline. These child actors actually felt like a living demonstration of the horrible incident that had happened.

MUSIC
The music actually isn't there but it still has a main part in the movie. The whole movie will feel like a raw conversation.

REWATCH
This movie can be rewatched if you are good at taking disturbing issues. I will rewatch this but not now, after when I have overcome its trauma.

APPRECIATION
This movie is based on the book The Crucible by Gong Ji Young who knows if she had faced a rebound for writing this book. But glad that this novel was made into a movie that had such a huge impact to make the S.Korean government amend the laws.

With the first scene car and the child in a tunnel, the movie sets its bar high that it is not going to be an easy watch. You might have to pause at some point to take a breath and calm yourself down or maybe take time to cry out loud because tears just don’t seem to stop. And I always say take some popcorn and tissue to watch a movie, but for this movie only tissue is needed.

RECOMMENDATION
This movie is for people who can process child molesting, abuse. It also good for some law inspiration as this movie was able to shook the society. if anyone has an interest in human rights then have a watch.

"Based on a true story" is what made this story for me, even more memorable. It is a movie that made my head hurt for days and I had to pour it all out to my friends because I would be very depressed afterwards. Let me be honest, I would never rewatch it, not because it is bad, but because to takes a toll on your mental health. The story itself breaks you apart and the acting is just as good. I watched this after hearing that this was a very controversial movie, so I was wondering how it would go. I made a great decision! I still feel pain in my heart even though I watched this a while ago.
