A man borrows money from a bank to finance his farm... but the banker is not an evil person. There is one extremely likable kid--- but he doesn't die. The father is neither saint nor sinner, nor is the wife. He is willing to risk his marriage to give his family a future; the wife isn't, having obviously seen his previous failures.
Because of the rapid accumulation of disasters, the tension builds and builds--- but the resolutions are unexpected: this is not melodrama but, rather, drama elevated to a high level.
Like all great films, and I think this is one, "Minari" can be interpreted in many ways, i.e. as a comment on American society's economic whipsaw; on American "exceptionalism;" on the impact tragedy and hardship has on religious faith and logic.
From the performance of John Yeun throughout the rest of the cast, there isn't a misstep: all are individuals, not cardboard cutouts mouthing "big thoughts," like in the flawed, "Grapes of Wrath."
