Bob Strauss Los Angeles Times As usual Hong ("In Another Country," "Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors") builds a rich structure of personal behavior and awkward social interaction on this simple platform. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) Haewon emerges as a complex character in whose foolishly open company we would happily spend more time, her understated manner speaking volumes, her gestures gently telling their own story. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2013 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard Haewon is the kind of thing Eric Rohmer used to churn out in the Eighties and Nineties; a masterpiece so quiet you barely notice it's there. Rated: 4/5 Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine Though the film struck some critics as scattered, a narrative in which dreams and waking life entwine reflects Haewon's approach to an adulthood she's struggling to navigate, largely on her own. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2023 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Perhaps one of Hong's most formally lovely works. The mist-shrouded atmosphere of the final dream sequence makes for some of the most evocative work of the filmmaker's career. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Dustin Chang Floating World I don't know why Hong's films are much more attractive to me than Noah Baumbachs. Haewon and many of Hong's films ring true to me in portraying human relationships. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

chris w 7 7 7 7 8 7 7 8 8 8 = 74 7/31, 2019 For me, it's a good work to begin with Hong Sang-soo. Beautiful rhythm in editing and mise en scene, Hong Sang-soo really love to express the nature of himself or the ugly truth of men in his works. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member "Sincere, whimsical and pretty dreary" Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A film that embarks mixed emotions, despair when there is a scandal. It made viewers soak into thinking was it right? Was it wrong? Who's causing the situation? It also depicts the courage of people to 'let it all go' and wait. Beautifully reflects expression of feelings. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Rara película coreana, o será que esta uno acostumbrado al cine gringo con sus intrigas y tramas más elaboradas. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Another beguiling and comical look at the foibles of relationships from the Korean Eric Rohmer. In this case, the secret love affair between a pretty (but emotionally needy) student and her professor, who also happens to be a movie director (a recurring figure in Hong's films). Though Hong seems to be retreading similar territories in his previous features, Haewon is a surprisingly deeply nuanced character study draped in a deceptively simple plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The first movie I've seen at this year's NYFF. A superb character study, and a simple well told teenager story of coping with loss. A pleasant surprise Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
