"There are filmmakers lurking here, and their involvement in the unfolding action highlights Hong's multilayered, self-deprecating self-portrait-and his ambivalent view of a milieu that is inescapably his own."
-
"Hong, who reportedly always carries a notebook with him, is an excellent observer of the minutiae of daily life"
-
"Hong's film is simply told but resonates with profound meaning."
-
"This one has a sheer simplicity and clarity."
