An impressively performed yet thematically thin debut from Hong Sung-eun, Aloners only skims the surface of loneliness. justbrizigs' review:
, was any indication. Though the pluralization is a bit misleading. Jina is the only character in Hong Sung-eun’s directorial debut who seems allergic to others’ company. The top employee at her credit card call center job, Jina bristles at all other human interaction. This includes her father , who cheated on and divorced her recently deceased mother two decades prior, but fell back into her mother’s good graces in the past few years.
And when Jina’s overly-friendly neighbor turns up dead in his apartment, crushed by a stack of porno magazines and rotted for a week, Jina is rattled but remains mostly unfazed—at first. Though still reclusive, she begins more regularly monitoring her widowed father on a live feed from a wireless camera she installed in her parents’ home.
As revealed by her father, once Jina moved out and away from her mother, their contact became increasingly strained. It was likely a contributing factor to her mother transferring Jina’s inheritance over to her father, only giving Jina more reason to distance herself from her family. But like, her neighbor’s death slowly begins to unravel Jina. Her glacial personality dips in temperature at such a rapid pace that it can’t do anything but burst and shatter.
After Jina discovers that her neighbor has been dead for a week, his landlord scolds her viciously for not noticing. The woman chalks Jina’s negligence up to the general self-centeredness of the younger generation. The social commentary ofnever gets much deeper than that. That sort of “young people on their phones these days…” look at the modern world marks Hong’s screenplay throughout.
