Reviews for In Between Days
Its theatrical release today is an encouraging sign that there is still room, even in the midst of the summer glut, for a small, serious, unpretentious film.
Painful, funny, unsentimental, perfectly measured in its ambiguities, it's exemplary low-budget filmmaking, the rare DV movie with an assured visual style and a strong sense of place.
There's an authenticity about this work that gives it a chilling flavor.
The most intriguingly circumscribed romance of the year, In Between Days locates two Korean teens at a precarious point in their relationship.
While Kim is unable to keep us riveted on her near-silent performance, the script and direction have a gentle sensitivity, subtly addressing cultural divisions while reminding us that angst, at least, is universal.
The camera lingers on the characters' minimal, but expressive actions, allowing the viewer to soak in their emotions rather than having them related to us through dialogue. In Between Days is more of an experience than your average movie.
Touches a universal chord: that of families who never discuss sex and love with their teens. But this Korean drama has a glacial pace.
[It] feels honest and direct, which is more than you can say about a lot of movies these days.
In Between Days is a wise and beautiful study of yearning and repression.
Kim keeps dialogue to a minimum and provides the barest of story arcs, using a handheld camera to probe subtle shifts of emotion in her nonprofessional actors.
Above all a meditation on loneliness, the narrative is frequently interrupted by static landscape shots accompanied by Aimie reading letters to her absent dad -- stabs at poetry that feel less poetic, and more calculated, with every recurrence.
In Between Days is a small slice of a suspended life, intimate and filled with the mundane details most people forget when the waiting is over and their real lives begin.
