When college coed Saruul takes a temporary job as a clerk in a sex shop, her poker-faced indifference makes her the perfect foil for the shop's clientele, who range from slightly sheepish and cautiously curious to downright perverse. But it's the shop's flamboyant, eccentric female owner who initiates Saruul's journey into adulthood -- taking her under her wing, teaching her the art of living, and gently guiding her on the path to self-discovery. This joyfully quirky, "candid big-city coming-of-age story" (Variety) from Janchivdorj Sengedorj, "one of the best voices of contemporary cinema in Mongolia" (Asian Movie Pulse), is fueled by a splendidly original script, utterly unique characters and unexpected encounters.

Peter Debruge Variety Although much of “The Sales Girl” feels consistent with life in London or New York, it’s the Mongolia-specific details that make the film so memorable... Oct 15, 2022 Full Review Amarsanaa Battulga easternKicks.com The Sales Girl is one of the better films to come out of Mongolia in recent years, but it is more likely to meet more favourable views abroad. Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Josiah Teal Film Threat Like a Wong Kar-wai film, the narrative is always in service of the character beats set to a memorable soundtrack. Rated: 9/10 Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive The Sales Girl is more than merely a sexual coming-of-age tale. It’s a modest rumination on life, our purpose here, and the pleasures we find along the way. May 31, 2024 Full Review Joshua Polanski In Review Online That’s what makes The Sales Girl interesting as a sexual coming-of-age story: sex functions as a means of self-discovery rather than a teleological conclusion of objectivity and pleasure. May 28, 2024 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee The friendship between Saruul and Katya is funny and heartfelt, and while the plot can feel a bit aimless and episodic, the individual moments are generally appealing and insightful. Rated: B+ May 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
