Tam NHN2 B It was crazy. This movie weirdly brings you to a sorrowful, confusing lake. It pulls you into the movie frame of the character. The sadness and loneliness of the main character are both so real and unique, but also seem so deep and universal to any of us when we are lost and disoriented. The director's way of telling the story is careless and extravagant, leaving the actors alone and full of calculation. It's strange. And beautiful! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Richard L Stilted dialogue and bland acting is all that's on offer in this snoozefest full of typically Korean talking-around-the-point. You'd be better off just listening in on conversations at your local café.

Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing, baffling yet illuminating, Hong Sang-soo's idiosyncratically autobiographical cinema is pure fodder for discerning cineastes. Rambling bore or piquant existential comedy? You decide. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Hong Sang-soo offers a simple but deep and thought-provoking stare at the constant issue people confronts while dealing with alcoholic effects in order to bloom into several cathartic emotions, such as the constant thought and questioning towards love and the right to practice it, in such a humble but human-like-touching way, mostly due to actress Min-hee Kim melancholic but emotionally strong performance and character. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Carlo R La película transcurre con una serenidad que es en todo momento propicia para la reflexión y los diálogos introspectivos. Dividida en varias partes, cada una permite revelar nuevos elementos acerca de la historia y personalidad de la protagonista, ayudando a explorar con más detenimiento los temas abordados a lo largo del filme. La cinta no sólo cuenta con un guión interesante, sino que se apoya también en una sólida fotografía con bellos paisajes e interesantes locaciones que terminan por convertirse en una importante herramienta visual para el desarrollo de la historia. La película se apoya además, en un elegante soundtrack, que consta de solamente una canción y que acompaña de manera conveniente el ritmo pasivo y la naturaleza reflexiva del filme. Desafortunadamente, y a pesar de ser una canción interesante, después de tantas apariciones se torna monótona y repetitiva. Sin demasiados personajes y sin mucha acción, On the Beach at Night Alone se sostiene en base a sus diálogos llenos de opiniones y análisis acerca del amor y las relaciones humanas en general. Al final, la protagonista ha logrado explorar y convivir de cerca con sus propios sentimientos y demonios, encaminándose cada vez más hacia la comprensión de los mismos. Su búsqueda la acerca al conocimiento de la verdad y al entendimiento del amor, dejando al mismo tiempo en evidencia la relatividad de dichos conceptos.
