SimonJack There's no doubt that "The Drop Box" is an inspiring film. Yet, documentaries as well as feature films can be made poorly, very well, or superbly. This one might have been superb but for some things. I watched it at a recent public showing in a church hall. As of the date of my review here, this IMDb page doesn't have details about the characters in the film. The documentary has many scenes of the lead person, Pastor Lee, and his wife caring for children. We especially see a lot with their two sons, one of whom is severely deformed and the other who was born missing fingers on his hands. And we learn in bits and pieces about their installing a drop box (they call it something else, but I can't recall what that was). This is done by interpreters with short film clips of the couple. And, that's where this documentary falls short. It doesn't give us good details or background information. It refers to Pastor Lee, but we don't know if he has a church or congregation. It shows their home with a sign, that is apparently the name of their orphanage. We know that they began taking in unwanted handicapped children initially, after their own children were born with physical and mental defects. In time, other unwanted babies were left at their doorstep. But, babies would die in the cold before they might find them. So, they installed a drop box with a bell that would let them know when a baby had been left. We don't know how Mr. Lee and his wife are able to maintain their orphanage. There's no information about him having a congregation or getting support otherwise. It's a decent documentary about a decent man and woman who are sacrificing themselves in Seoul, South Korea, for the sake of abandoned and unwanted children. They are doing the charitable service of a Mother Teresa (St. Teresa of Kolkata) in South Korea. Focus on the Family distributed the film.

Gina I have never been so touched and moved by a film quite like I have by The Drop Box. It is comforting to know there are amazing people out there that gives us all hope and reason. It touches on a topic that many do not discuss, nor have any knowledge about. I did not know about this controversial issue until I watched this film. Pastor Lee and everyone involved helping him raise his children are the true teachers in life, including the children themselves! This is a MUST-SEE film that is truly inspirational. I wish everyone could be as altruistic, unselfish, kind, and benevolent as all the characters are that take part in this amazing movie.

Shenoa77 This documentary will change how you view your life. This film tells the story of a humble, hardworking pastor living in South Korea. It is a documentary about how a fiercely tender man has made a remarkable, redemptive impact saving the lives of those Jesus called "the least of these" or unwanted babies. The Drop Box is truly a story about good new. It is a story about what the Gospel looks like in action. In Pastor Lee, we see a reflection of this. And in the broken and abandoned children that are saved and served, we see ourselves and in the process understand more fully our own redemption. A must-see documentary. You won't regret watching this.

hlldesign A documentary isn't always about the "presentation" it's also about the story it tells. So you giving this movie a 1 star tells me you're just a hater. If you gave it a 5 I would of have taken your review in consideration, but seriously 1 star. I knew about this pastor for many years and he and his wife are truly amazing people. They save unwanted babies with a question, doesn't that deserve at least 3 stars just for the story. What is wrong with you? Wow. Someone's got no empathy. The reason no one in the audience clapped is because they were in awe. I'm sure the sighs were from yourself and your friends who critique simply things like camera angles and background music and not the story.
