Danny King Village Voice 07/02/2014
The cumulative impact of the delayed story revelations and Chun's startling vulnerability is both an elegant gut-punch and a furious indictment ... Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 06/30/2014
Avoiding intimacy with something close to terror, Gong-ju idles on the fringes of events as though reluctant to take up space. She knows that invisibility is probably her only friend. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse 04/11/2021
"Han Gong-ju" is one of the best Korean indie dramas, while Lee Su-jin's message will echo to the viewer long after the movie has ended: The cycle of violence never closes Go to Full Review Joe Bendel Epoch Times 05/26/2016
4/5
This is not popcorn entertainment, but Chun's work is powerful stuff that puts recent tear-jerking young adult novel adaptations to shame for their naked manipulation. Go to Full Review Nikola Grozdanovic The Playlist 08/23/2014

The gnawing sense of failed potential is inescapable. Similar to its title character, "Han Gong-ju" is beautiful, brave and ambitious but ultimately too damaged to blossom into greatness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Siriporn P 03/11/2023 The story is good but very despressing though. See more 08/25/2016 Watching Han Gong Ju is a deeply disturbing experience specially because you are not just watching a movie... but you are actually peeping in the psyche of this young girl in a traumatic phase of her life... See more 09/23/2015 Uma garota sofre um estupro coletivo junto com sua amiga. Ela é afastada da sua cidade para não sofrer pressão dos pais dos criminosos que querem que ela assine um documento isentando seus filhos. Em uma casa de desconhecidos e em um novo colégio, ela tenta recomeçar a vida, mas esconder seu segredo não é nada fácil. Fala sobre um assunto polêmico com flashbacks que vão revelando, aos poucos, o estupro. É um filme bem executado, mas mediano.

The editing of this film was so inconsistent and impatient that you have to be overly conscious of the sudden transition between past and present. Despite the prevailing erratic timeline, Han Gong-Ju is such an exquisite film. See more Read all reviews
