As a production company, A24 has been killing it for many years now. So, it's about time Don and Chuck got around to reviewing one of their movies. Minari is a simple drama about a Korean family. When the patriarch decides to move from California to Arkansas so they can start a farm, it ushers in an era of change for the family. Even more, they move in his mother-in-law to help raise the kids. The film tells the story of the year (or so) after they make the move, living in an area where they have no friends or resources, and shows how they struggle to build a successful farm and stay together as a cohesive family unit. It's a well-made and poignantly-acted film, particularly the performances from the young actors playing the family's two children.
The film also helps Don and Chuck discuss lessons such as:
