Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader This is a pallid retread. May 20, 2010 Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com Beyond the Years suggests, rather simplemindedly, that purity of heart and endless practice are the keys to a great performance. Rated: 42/100 Jan 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Beautiful! The story about everlasting love nicely colored with great photography and music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful movie that tells of an upsetting but everlasting love. The story of a man that falls in love with his adopted sister, as his father grooms her to become not only an incredible singer but also his future wife. Complex and often unsettling there is even an act that, though considered evil, is also heart achingly naive. The music is really the star, with wonderful traditional Korean sounds bringing poems to life. If that's the star then the beautiful Korean landscapes would win Best Supporting Actor. The final shot of two cranes flying over mountains and lakes is superbly shot and just gorgeous. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I really love this movie! An amazing story of love, music, traditions that transcend all borders. After this movie, the Korean cinema has definetely captured my heart! The soundtrack of this movie is absolutely amazing!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Very beautiful movie, strong emotion thanks to pansori and the beauty of images, but the story is really frustrating, two people who love each other but never follow the same path.. Happy to see Cho Jae Hyeon, the actor in Kim Ki-Duk's Bad Guy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a beautiful movie. The beautiful cinematography makes you wish to visit Korea and the musics makes you want to know more about Korean music and culture. But these are all the decorations of this great movie. The story of people and the love of them is so pure. They preserve their love when they are apart and keep their love unchanged while the world changes. This is a love story begins from childhood the very end and the name of the film suit it perfectly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The korean Classical Music sounded interesting to me.I kind of do not understand the love in the movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
