Tender indie drama is Oscar shoo-in

LONG tipped as an Oscar contender, Celine Song's autobiographical indie drama more than lives up to the hype.

- Charlotte O’Sullivan

Tender indie drama is Oscar shoo-in

The story of a woman born in South Korea who can't shake off her first crush is original, wry and hauntingly tender. Academy voters will almost certainly nominate this story of what happens to Na Young/Nora (Greta Lee) for Best Film, Director, Original Screenplay and Actress. But Oscars Schmoscars! That's not why you should see it.

Aged 12, budding playwright Na Young leaves Seoul for Canada. She tells her best friend and sort-of-crush Hae Sung that the move is necessary because "Koreans don't win the Nobel Prize for Literature". Twelve years later, Nora-as she's now known - is just as ambitious. Though now she wants a Pulitzer.
