Audience Reviews

Alunauwie 8/10 Jun 26, 2026
*Melancholy* offers a thought-provoking psychological drama that reimagines the Cinderella archetype to explore trauma, family, and the fragile pursuit of an ideal life through subtle storytelling and strong character development. While its unsettling perspective and unconventional ending may not resonate with every viewer, the natural performances, meaningful symbolism, and carefully crafted details leave a lasting emotional impact. Overall, it is a quietly powerful film that is worth watching for those who appreciate reflective, character-driven dramas.
