Caryn James BBC.com Let's just flatly say: Kogonada is a genius. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Kevin Maher The Times (UK) ... A mature, melancholic meditation on the odd transitional phase that humanity faces today — not quite fully digital, not nearly human enough. Rated: 4/5 Sep 26, 2022 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) I’m not convinced that the picture carries quite the philosophical weight that it thinks it does. Still, it’s an undeniably gorgeous place to lose yourself for a while. Rated: 3/5 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Rose Ho The Asian Cut Meditatively paced with achingly beautiful visuals Aug 2, 2025 Full Review Michael Cook Geek Vibes Nation It’s deeply emotional, obsessed with exploring the intricacies of humanity. It’s soft and loving and heartfelt. The performances are beautiful and full of vulnerability and nuance. And the whole movie is just one big love letter to the power of living. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews Kogonada has taken a very unconventional, bold approach to his examination of holding on to fading humanity. Rated: 4/5 Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Brent Will not be for everyone, but for those willing to put the time into this somber and ruminative experience there's a lot of reward at the end. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/22 Full Review Ethan Really boring, no conflict, low hanging fruit of a theme. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/22 Full Review constance m excellent - thought provoking and visually stunning.......understated but meaningful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/22 Full Review Dani G It really has a futuristic feeling without showing a lot of futuristic things Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Dennis T Not for everyone but a really thought out and beautiful movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Audience Member This was a really, really, great movie. It spans an array of feelings and ponderences on the human condition. What is it to be human? Great acting. Really great story- kudos for the originality. Great visual aesthetic and moving dialogue. A must for a collector and for anyone who likes to see what other people think that life is, Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
