Great Absence70
Jul 18, 2024
The film is an exquisite journey, wonderfully acted, sublimely shot, and thoughtfully conceived.

Concrete Utopia75

While this is skillfully made in all of its technical aspects, it stands as a missed opportunity for someone of Eom Tae-haw’s talent.

Piątek’s documentary is, at times, a gauntlet of will and endurance. At other times it is a gentle rumination on coming-of-age. No matter what, the film is always incisive, and its character’s journey will linger long after the credits disappear. However, its most significant revelation is that all great things, adored as they are, come with much difficulty, both soft and loud.

Sleep70
Dec 5, 2023
On one hand, it is a good but seemingly typical genre film that has moments of uncanny intelligence. On the other, it is an uncannily intelligent work that eventually settles for simply being a good genre film.

Restore Point65
Dec 5, 2023
It is a film that, while intelligently conceived, is in no way its own. As such, it struggles to connect with the viewer in any way beyond its aesthetics. This is, in a word, a cold film, lacking the vital spark of originality, the warmth of humanity.

A Normal Family85

The film is a statement and will carve its place in modern Korean cinema just as surely as its conclusion penetrates so profoundly and so indelibly.

The Promised Land85
Sep 20, 2023
Arcel and Mikkelsen have struck a deeply human chord with The Promised Land. It is a tale of undoubted savagery but also one of hope in all its divine illumination.

Dream Scenario50
Sep 13, 2023
Borgli’s feature is just another somewhat edgy movie that has nothing to say.

Operation Napoleon50
Aug 24, 2023
With more daring in the direction and more inspiration in the writing, the movie could have been entertaining, even if it was something done many times before. Instead, it is utterly derivative and routine in every aspect. It is a picture that attempts nothing and achieves nothing.

Belle50

The confused tone and largely inert script render this adaptation more beast than beauty.
