What are critics saying?

Variety by Boyd van Hoeij

A gossamer debut feature that compensates for its lo-fi look with glimpses of profound humanism.

Slant Magazine by Chris Cabin

Worry and sadness are palpable, but so is wry humor and irony as Song ponders age and mortality with a sensitive eye for emotions and a strong sense of composition.

The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis

A slight yet profound exploration of generational choices and our fear of living our parents’ lives.

Time Out by Michael Atkinson

Sweet and fiercely humane, Song’s layered family portrait is decidedly Buddhist: silent when it needs to be and steadfast about approaching inevitable tragedy with care and patience.

The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton

The pace is gently hypnotic and the topic fitfully interesting, but the format will test the patience of all but serious art-cinema fans with its narrow focus and chilly film-school minimalism.
