Festival (2020)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

While working at various events, an unknown MC named Kyung-man and his younger sister, Kyung-mi, are taking care of their father, who has been hospitalized for a long time. When he suddenly dies, there is no time to be sad and Kyung-man faces the tough reality of having no money for his father’s funeral. To cover the funeral expenses, Kyung-man secretly goes to the province to work at a birthday party but is gets caught up in an unexpected disturbance there.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
