    The love between women in winter

    Photography, lighting is very beautiful beautiful (especially several snow heaven and earth and indoor arrangement), but the film isn't label her piece, the body is not her mood ji yao, really rare to see such not dog blood clean finished a story of Korean movie, love between women as white as snow and ice crystal and quiet in heart, saw for the first time.

    Slow but filled with emotions

    Much to think about. Although the story is told in a restrained manner, that if you dont pay attention you will lose the beauty of it all. Story develops slowly culminating into a better hope or ending, and in those moments it is calm, silent, intimate and that just hooks you up. The buildup is different which others may not like. We all deserve happiness, at some point we have to live for oursleves and be happy, but not everyone can do that.

    Warm & calm

    A tea cozy movie about a mother's unhappiness and her feisty teenage daughter's quest to learn more about her mother and help her come to terms with repressed desires and memories, during a trip to Japan. This is a slow-paced and subtle movie about forbidden love and societal pressures but it never gets boring. I really liked the chemistry between the mother and daughter, how she tries to gently challenge her mother's social isolation. The cinematography is also quite nice, I like the contrast between the warmth of the characters (the young couple in particular) and the cold winter landscapes of Hokkaido. I hope Kim Sohye (who plays the daughter) gets more movie roles in the future, she is a natural in many ways.

    Beautiful

    Moonlit winter is a stunning movie. The actresses are natural and the scenery is pretty. I wish I could've seen it at the theater.

    Good Enough

    " Moonlit Winter " or full moon, was a nice movie.

    The drama was just enough and the character interesting. Especially the daughter, she was feisty and just the perfect partner for her mother, who was dynamic, but pretty closed to herself. The movie did a nice job with keeping things interesting, however, even though the idea of the story was original and very emotional, it felt like it wasn't well presented. At times, it got a bit confusing and it would have been better, in my opinion, if they had given us some information about their past relationship, or some scenes from the past, as to built a better intensity for the couple. The performances though were very good, and the young couple extra cute.

    So, overall, six out of ten, because the story deserved a better presentation.
