★★★★½ review by Lucy on Letterboxd
i'm really floored by how good this was... i wasn't expecting something this striking. so beautiful in the most simplistic ways. natural, and quiet. love shown in glances more often than actions (similar to movies like moonlight, and carol) the sting of heartbreak in the awkward spaces in between: casual conversations, group interactions. the tragedy of love when it exists, but isn't acknowledged. the stomach churning reality of it. pure longing. i don't usually write serious reviews but this truly deserved more than a one liner from me. my heart hurts

★★★★ review by brat pitt on Letterboxd
not to make this about Me but this is the first time i've ever seen myself represented by an explicitly half korean half white character onscreen. feels good man. representation matters! :)
ALSO this sweet little lesbian film is directed/written/edited by a korean-american woman (so yong kim)! representation behind the camera matters too! :)
