The New York Times by A.O. Scott

It is a great movie, by a major figure in world cinema.

Boxoffice Magazine by Ed Schied

Jeon received the Best Actress at Cannes for her wrenching performance. She's the first Korean to receive an acting award at this Festival.

New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier

Director Lee Chang-dong's soulful, affecting film is as quiet as a tomb and has a disturbing, critical underside that's hard to shake off.

Village Voice by Michael Atkinson

One of the year's best films.

The A.V. Club by Noel Murray

Secret Sunshine is a frequently beautiful film with a cold, dark heart.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

Director Lee Chang-dong could well have cut 30 minutes out of the story, but Jeon's performance is powerful enough to keep Secret Sunshine from drowning in an ocean of tears.
