@GookFilm was terrific. So tense, but so warm in parts. @justinchon has really made something special.

Check out my review below & then see it in UK cinemas so I can talk about it with someone!

Pushing this out again, because @GookFilm was really really good.

There's a really interesting & nuanced conversation about Korean-American & African American relations within the film. Would be interesting to hear the dialogue that comes forth from Gook. https://t.co/cumWsWiz1D

As a daughter of a Liquor Store owner, @GookFilm hit me hard. Poignant & powerful. See full video: https://t.co/vzsOc5LxOa #Top10Filmsof2017

GOOK is a movie that tells the story of a Korean shopkeeper in the middle of the Rodney King riots. It has a superb soundtrack, touches of humour & amazing performances. Loved it. 8/10 @GookFilm

On Kanopy now: @JustinChon's Sundance Audience Award Winner @GookFilm. I highly recommend this Jarmusch-esque character piece that aptly balances comedy and drama, with stunning black & white cinematography.
