more than just a story of personal tragedy

"Next So-Hee" is a haunting portrayal of systemic failure and individual despair, illustrating a world where oppressive forces render people powerless and voices are stifled. The film delves into the tragic life of So-Hee, a young girl who becomes emblematic of a broader societal malaise where everyone seems to compromise and retreat into resignation. It paints a somber picture of a society where each institution-schools, educational authorities, labor departments, employers, police, and families-appears to operate with impunity, creating a labyrinth of excuses that ultimately dismiss the gravity of So-Hee's plight.

Rich get richer & Poor get poor...!!!

This film has done a great job in highlighting the injustices of a capitalistic society that reduces the worth of a human being down to a single number. The acting is amazing, though the cinematography is straight to the point, in an almost documentary like style which is quite befitting to the theme of this film. It is a bleak slow burn with no resolution...While it recieved a 7 minutes of standing ovation at the Cannes... The director aims to expose the weakness of this gruesome capitalist system that strips off every little hope in the youths... It all started from a forced internship program as a school curricular, exploitation on cheap labor yet doing demanding and unforgiving task. It's extremely sad to to watch it as we're all basically going through the same thing everyday, and no one will be able to make a difference as it is deemed as a reality for everyone to survive.Injustices are covered up and victims have nowhere to go. Since this film is based on a real life incident we could only expect a piece of peace to the struggling soul...
