“Song Kang-ho in Secret Sunshine is not the central performance, but he's just so honest and raw and true. He's this man who wants to be loved so badly. It's heartbreaking.”

Steven Yeun

Actor

“There's a scene near the middle of the film when she goes to visit her son's abductor in prison, and that is where the film becomes something so fascinating and so strange that it's really never left me.”
