Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The third act can be overwhelming for some viewers as Shin-ae spirals further into her grief.
  • Secret Sunshine is a very emotional and sad film; the average viewer could be extremely shocked by the death of a child and, while it is not seen onscreen, the implications of his mother's depression thereafter is incredibly heartbreaking.
