Critic Reviews
Broker (2022) Review: Kore-eda’s Korean Found Family
★★★★☆
Song Kang-ho, Gang Dong-won, Bae Doona, and IU on a baby-box road trip — Hirokazu Kore-eda in Korean, tender and a little too neat, with a Cannes-facing moral puzzle.
Recommended — gentle Kore-eda crime, not Shoplifters’ equal, still worth the ride.
