Decision to Leave
From a mountain peak in South Korea, a man plummets to his death. Did he jump, or was he pushed? When detective Hae-joon arrives on the scene, he begins to suspect the dead man’s wife Seo-rae. But as he digs deeper into the investigation, he finds himself trapped in a web of deception and desire.

The film drops significantly during the time jump and second murder case before soaring to its highest point with the poetic beach ending.
Decision to Leave maintains strong critical appreciation throughout most of its runtime, with particular praise for Park's visual mastery and the central performances. The film peaks early with the interrogation scenes and discovery moments, experiences a notable dip during the repetitive second act, but recovers powerfully with its haunting conclusion that critics universally celebrated.
