Reception

[edit | edit source]

Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that while " there are points where the story loses focus", Kim and Heo "do a lovely job of anchoring the philosophical rift at the heart of the story."[1]

Richard Kuipers of Variety wrote that this "very well performed chamber piece is expertly controlled", and that it "lulls viewers into a sense of calm and order before going for the jugular."[2]

Pierce Conran of ScreenAnarchy wrote that while the film "has the making of an engaging mystery", and "remains worth watching for the performances", due to "stilted theatrical style and literary pretensions, it never quite comes together as a gripping yarn".[3]
