Film Monthly

It's an incredibly slow burn that wobbles at its most stagnant parts, but its attention to detail make for a picture that orders viewers to reprocess itself as it unfolds.

Rated: 4/5

The melancholic yet suspenseful first feature from writer-director Kwon Man Ki...is skilfully directed and edited, and treats its characters with compassion.

Kwon Man-ki directs and pens a movie that thrives on its narrative, particularly regarding the build-up of the relationship of the two protagonists, and the revealing of the reasons of Jung-ju's behavior.
