Although the sheer intensity of the premise is a little exhausting, this is a tightly plotted conundrum of a movie which allows its audience barely a moment to catch breath.

Cho fares surprisingly well as the story pushes into themes of guilt, revenge and forgiveness, finding a resolution that is both unexpected and poignant.

Taut, fast-moving and intelligent, it's an entertaining film which benefits from its short running time, something which sets it apart from most other Korean thrillers of late

Rated: 4

"A Day" is a very entertaining film, which manages to overcome its melodramatic elements by presenting a unique take on the "Groundhog Day" and through impressive production values.

A Day starts as a well-executed genre film but is elevated to become an emotional catharsis for its characters... [Full Review in Spanish]

A Day is a satisfying thriller that turns out to be a rumination on Buddhist concepts of karma, rebirth and deliverance.

Rated: 4/5

It can be tough to pass A Day even if its just 90 minutes. Repetitive and boring after a point.

Este é um filme muito bom, é um daqueles filmes que temos que assistir com muita atenção,pois ele quer passar uma mensagem com essa história,e ao assistir com atenção, entendemos essa mensagem, enfim o filme tem um rio bastante intenso,e isso é bom,pra continuarmos atentos ao que acontece na história,e ficarmos ansiosos pelo que acontece no final, é com certeza,uma ótima produção.

This is Korean's version of a timeloop story. A good mystery but it lacks the thrill compared to other film of the same genre. I would say it has more drama. LOL. I would blame that it only relies on a single twist. Sins of the past. Somewhat 'changing lanes' type of rivalry. Its good if you wanna pass some time but not unforgettable like 'the jacket' or 'groundhog day'.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A Day (also known as Ha-Roo) is a entertainingly complicated story that nails the repetitive narrative of trying to save you loved ones, and making it into a riveting action/drama like you rarely get to see. Only South-Korean cinema knows how to pull that off, and still make it believable.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
