On the Beach at Night Alone's reviews
Media reviews
The Playlist
whether because of its personal nature, its occasional ferocity, its unusually dark undercurrents, its audacious defiance of expectation and explanation or Kim Min-hee?s essential performance, 'On The Beach At Night Alone' feels like it will be exceptional even for longtime diehard Hong fans.
Indiewire
'On the Beach at Night Alone' is a fascinating sublimation of autobiography into Hong?s precise creative terms, a bittersweet character study as poignant, witty and deceptively slight as much of his work that also refurbishes it with a unique personal dimension.
Variety
Unfussy in form, open in expression and gentle in reach as its maker revisits such recurring preoccupations as loneliness, regret and the value of love in life and art.
New York Times
Ms. Kim is simultaneously an ordinary woman and a melodramatic heroine, her performance made more layered and intriguing by the intimation that she may be playing herself.
