Your review has made me hope I get the chance to see it. It sounds as if YJL takes on interesting and controversial topic from another point of view. I could agree more about Maybe Forever. There was nothing there to connect with emotionally. I was never able to believe the story, the movements and themes were too repetitive, and the long pauses killed any momentum. I thought the tepid applause was very generous. The Shipment sounds like something that is both interesting and in your face. Your review has made me hope I get the chance to see it.
