Sundance Film Festival Movie Review – One for the Road

April 6, 2021

When Bong Joon Ho won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film last year for Parasite, he said, “”Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” I love this sentiment.
