What is most impressive is the care with which Mr. Chung manages this risky undertaking. He seems to have made this film above all by listening and looking.

The Hollywood Reporter by Ray Bennett
Earnest and slow, the film takes time to reveal its intentions and the result is worthy but not engaging.
It is in every frame a beautiful and powerful film — a masterpiece.
Chung goes to such effort to avoid melodrama — predictable, artificial or over-the-top confrontations — that Munyurangabo never alters its sedate, almost somnambular pacing.
The finished film, which was completed in about 11 days, has the tidiness and optimism of a fable. But it showcases certain hard facts of life in a war-torn country whose scars have yet to heal.
A man uses his newfound time travel ability to win over the girl of his dreams.
After being coerced into working for a crime boss, a young getaway driver finds himself taking part in a heist doomed to fail.
She’s everything. He’s just Ken.
The celebration of a lifetime!
A failed stand-up comedian is driven insane, turning to a life of crime in chaos in Gotham City.
