Reviews

By SWITCH.

‘Swing Kids’ should be commended for its ambition, even if it doesn’t always manage to juggle all its balls as well as wants to. Is it the best film to come out of Korea this year? No, that title belongs to festival darling ‘Parasite’. But is it one of the most affecting experiences I’ve had with a film this year? Absolutely. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-swing-kids-a-war-film-in-its-own-league
