Confession (2021)

Boring and predictable storyline

The story is pretty plain and also really predictable. I felt like dropping it in half way, it was too boring .But just couldn't help watching to see how it ends. It all about the lady police is being criticized over her gender, crimes evolving women and the welfare lady being too involved with a child, even she invaded her house several times. Really! Who cares that much? What happend in the end doesn't make sense:). But the message that the movie wants to convey through this movie is so heartbreaking.

I really don't know about the Korean law but if it is true what was said in this movie then it's a sick law. How can a child can be sent to his/her parents if they are abusive and doesn't matter if they beat his/her till dead. I don't know is it true or the movie is exaggerating it.

I think the story was really limited, the setting was small (as apposed to My First Client for example) and the progress though uneventful, the ending was not what they wanted it to be.
Park Ha Sun and Ha Yoon Kyung did an amazing job though the little kid didn't have enough force (the kids in Pawn and My First Client were so amazing I was mesmerized by their performance) and I couldn't get that invested.


this is a big issue and a current event in korea, idk if laws are different in each country regarding child abuse, but in beyond the truth they said the law can take away your child even if there was a rumor of mistreatment then you need to prove that you're a good parent, which also seems like a horrible law but here in these korean movies even if there are huge sings of abuse they let them keep the kids! and in the end it results in 2 things, they die or they kill. that's why I didn't think the ending had the impact they wanted. at some scenes the kid seems to be exhibiting psychopathic behavior, even bigger than their line "kids who are abused turn around and abuse other's"

so overall even if the message was heartbreaking and the performance was good, it still felt basic. I couldn't feel the emotinal depth of each fl, or the connection with the kid, so I felt like it was slow but rushed
