What they share

Both films are directed by Song Hae-sung, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Failan, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Boomerang Family is

A thirtysomething director’s return home isn’t as tidy as he hoped. Three adults and a rebellious teen cram into one house, doubling the chaos. The film settles for showing family life as a series of small, loud mistakes.
