Great plot, great acting, great minimal score, great cinematography, and there are some great metaphors and small details that challenges you and makes you think. The movie's only weak point is that it drags on a bit too much. 8/10.
Here are some metaphors and details details that I noticed coupled with some theories that I have (spoilers!): -The abandoned greenhouses are obviously metaphors for women who are alone and in debt. Ben preys on these women because no one would miss them, just like no one would miss an abandoned greenhouse.
-Haemi didn't fall into a well. If she did, one of the three older women would have remembered it. The well is a metaphor for her life. She's alone and can't crawl herself out of her debt. Jangsu shows up and saves her by brightening her life.
-Ben is obviously a psycopath. One of the ways you can see that is that he yawns when other people are laughing.
-A really important detail is that "cremation" and "makeup" are spelled the same way in Korean. This confirms that Ben is murdering (or at least doing something to) socially isolated women.
-"Greenhouse" and "plastic house" also have the same Korean translation. The women that Ben prey on have all had plastic surgery (probably), something a lonely woman who wants to be wanted would do.
