Justin Chon looks at bigotry through the eyes of two Korean brothers in L.A.'s South Central in 1992. The result is hardass yet hypnotically beautiful. September 14, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Despite an underlying harshness, the film is often light, its playful moments easing the strain of its everyday racism. February 28, 2019 | Full Review…
