Our take
After years of separation, White returns to Thailand and disguises himself as his twin brother Black to investigate who attacked Black and put him in a coma. As he infiltrates his brother’s life, he discovers the violent activism Black was a part of, deciding to join the gang to find more information. Soon he gets caught up in this struggle to justify the violent means and how it affects the very people they are trying to protect. With strong social commentary on Thailand and its laws, it is a powerful look at the mistreatment of the working class and marginalized groups like the LGBTQ community.

Kerine Wint is a curator at A Good Movie to Watch. When she’s not absorbed in anime and weird docu-series, she reviews speculative fiction for Fiyah Lit Magazine or designs album covers and magazines. As for her film taste, One Cut of the Dead (2017), The Lure (2015), Inu-Oh (2021), and Dear Ex (2018) sum it up pretty well.
