Manok

“*Manok* is a vibrant, sharp-witted balancing act that pivots effortlessly between the neon-soaked nostalgia of Seoul’s nightlife and the dusty, high-stakes maneuvering of local provincial politics. Anchored by a magnetic, nuanced lead performance, the film offers a refreshing look at identity and reconciliation that will resonate with fans of character-driven dramedies like *Lady Bird* or *The Farewell*.”
