Steadily maintaining momentum and a meditative mood without narration or editorialization is itself a feat, but more vitally, Paradise appreciates and shares the curious mysteries in the seemingly banal. Go to Full Review Jeremiah Kipp Slant Magazine 09/23/2009

It wouldn't be a stretch to compare Paradise to Alphaville, what with its imagining of the modern as otherworldly, or to imagine it as a capsule made by an outer-space explorer who visits Earth and finds layers of mystery in the mundane. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 11/24/2008

01/25/2013 although this plot was predictable, i enjoyed watching the movie because i like Haneul Kim and Jinhee Ji. i like how Jinhee covers and overlooks Haneul's past. it's love and care. so lovely! :) See more 01/17/2010 Homevideo als Kunstform: ein kontemplatives, meditatives Kino, zusammengesetzt aus kleinen Momenten, die gemeinsam eine transzendentale Alltagspoesie entwickeln sollen. Michael Almereydas Kino war im Grunde schon immer ein einigermaßen privatistisches, und diese Tendenz findet sich hier aufs Äußerste zugespitzt. Ein (manchmal sehr) schöner Film zwar, aber schlussendlich (noch) selten mehr als die Summe seiner Teile. See more Read all reviews
