      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      As carefully crafted and delightful as a nesting doll, Hill of Freedom is a frothy entry with certain substance from the great Hong Sang-soo

      Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle That may sound like some terribly serious arthouse navel-gazing, but ultimately Hill of Freedom is surprisingly satisfying in its sheer - albeit abjectly disjointed - fish-out-of-water ordinariness. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 12, 2020 Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times The ingenuity of the movie's structure is stimulating and delightful... Jun 11, 2020 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker With modest means and a limited field of action, Hong achieves a complexity akin to the grand historical meditations of Alain Resnais; steering clear of explicit politics, he conjures revealing attitudes through reverberant-and often comical-details. Oct 6, 2014 Full Review Manu Yáñez Otroscines.com In today's cinema, no one makes films as formulaic and at the same time as unpredictable as Hong's; no other director expresses his radicality in such a discreet way. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Fernando E. Juan Lima Otroscines.com Without reaching the perfection of the beautiful Oki's Movie, Hong always delivers; 66 minutes of pleasure guaranteed. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Hong is an expertly unsparing diagnostician of the anti-revels he can’t tear himself away from...

      Audience Member A fórmula de seus filmes se repete, por isso não tem erro. O 'feel good' é garantido. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Though small in scale this South Korean film is particularly charming and quite funny, with never a dull moment among the natural approach given by the writing and cast's performances. I wouldn't say the film was meant to or even exceed the limit of Art House drama, though it's quite obscure hearing the dialogue mostly in English. But really, the subject matter and drama at play really make the film what it is; a "feel good", "catching up with old friends" type of drama/comedy that barely resembles the type of film viewers would expect to see. Definitely a worth while choice I've seen at MIFF ;) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A Japanese visiting Korea to rekindle a friendship, and possibly transform it to something bigger. Just the right touch of comedy for the cultural clashes but its main story, the foundation, fell flat in the end. As much as it begged to be introspective, there are not much details to look or immerse with. There's nothing to root with the protagonist. At least, it didn't go to the usual cinematic tropes and dramatic cliches but it offered nothing better as alternative. Kudos for the nonlinear storyline but it didn't improve anything. Kind of a waste of time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
