But one day, she takes a chance and gives her number to a random guy at the grocery store. After their first date, he invites her to a romantic weekend getaway. And the rest is history as they say. Although labeled as a comedy, you should instead expect disturbing suspense and dark horror. Fresh is a great movie to watch for a scary date night.
Minari (2020, IMDb: 7.4)
This hidden-indie-gem follows a Korean-American family as the father, Jacob Yi, relocates his family to the 1980s rural Arkansas for a new start and the American dream. With a failing 50-acre farm, cultural differences and hope slipping through his fingers, Jacob is stubborn to make his family’s new life work. Even if he has to ask grandma Soonja for help to find their place in the world. This is a slower paced, melancholy but beautiful story about family and the struggles of immigrants. Funny, sad, intense, Minari has it all. To summarize, a great movie to watch as a couple.
