An introverted young woman spends her days eavesdropping on others in a South Korean café. She uses their conversations as inspiration for her writing, typing away on her laptop as the drama unfolds around her. But what is real? And what is fiction?

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

75

The Playlist by Bradley Warren

For all the artists that populate Hong’s cinematic universe, the director has yet to foreground the creative psyche in as thought-provoking of a manner as he does in Grass.
67

IndieWire by David Ehrlich

Much less consistently enjoyable than many Hong films twice its length, Grass compensates for its dramatic slackness and deviant sobriety by honing in on the ideas that its director’s work often skirts around.

The Film Stage by Rory O'Connor

Are the grand and absurd moments of our lives perhaps more closely acquainted with one another then we’d like to admit? Grass seems to think so, and it delivers that assumption with a welcome–indeed, almost humane–dose of humor.

Screen International by Sarah Ward

Grass demonstrates a fresh type of playfulness from the prolific filmmaker. It’s a movie filled with his usual intimacy, but it’s also one that’s purposefully more concerned with the bigger picture than the individual details.
