A young woman struggling with her sexuality becomes torn between her family expectations and her own desires.

Andrea Gronvall

Chicago Reader

Writer-director Joanne Mony Park favors static long takes to recount the affair in reverse chronological order, but she doesn't yet have the skill to pull off what Harold Pinter did with Betrayal.

Justin Lowe

The Hollywood Reporter

By limiting her characters to terse and often oblique exchanges, [Joanne Mony] Park conceals motivational intent, relying more on the sparse emotional content of individual scenes to convey meaning.

But ultimately the film defeats itself with time jumps that seem there more for the sake of style than story.

[Director] Mony Park gives us some poignant, and some seemingly ordinary moments; but these are the moments that often meet side by side...where both the big and small revelations occur.

Hammer to Nail

It could feel gimmicky, but doesn't; instead, it is cinematically innovative and deft, and a lovely work of art.
