Overseas is a harrowing story of resilience, an elegy of people pushed to the margins, whom Yoon restitutes as dignified and strong-willed fighters, in a work that dances between reality and fiction to an engrossing extent.

The most sympathetic, illuminating study of domestic labor since Roma.

With a fly-on-the-wall approach, the movie allows the center’s cruel contradictions to accumulate with a slow burn.

Although the documentary about the ordinary life of the Filipino people will not attract much attention, after watching all the events of the movie, I thought it would be a good movie. Such documentaries, which show the ordinary life of a country, at the end tell something to a person and add to the knowledge of a person.
