The Spectator

Written and directed by Dan-bi Yoon, the film gives the characters the space they need and the two hours fly by as you become invested in every detail of this family's life.

The Gate

Yoon Dan-bi's first feature Moving On uniquely uses a pair of sibling perspectives to look at changing social attitudes and economic struggles.

Rated: 8/10

Eye for Film

Right from its opening sequence, which sees a family of four bundle themselves and all their possessions into a small van and leave their family home to drive to grandpa's, Moving On reveals itself as a strikingly beautiful piece of cinema.

Rated: 4.5/5

"Moving On" is a great indie family drama, particularly because it manages to work on so many levels and to present themes that are easy to relate to, in a global scale.

Sober, careful, austere, serene and at the same time with several intense and emotional passages. [Full Review in Spanish]

This is a low key domestic drama and coming of age tale I suppose about a small group of Korean relatives spending time over one summer. The script is reasonably good and there are some poignant moments and one or two amusing moments. Not a brilliant film but an ok one, this is worth a watch if there's nothing much else on, yes.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This one of those movies where nothing really happens, where you're supposed to find interest in the interpersonal dynamic of the characters. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. This is one of those movies where it doesn't quite work.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
