12/30/06
Jeong's women often interact via cell phone messaging, and one of the film's primary themes arises in the way contemporary relationships exist through wireless communication.
12/01/04
A world in small, subtly acknowledging larger economic and cultural forces one moment, and in the next patiently observing the way a bowl of medicinal tea, seen turning in a microwave carousel, begins to describe its own slow epicycles.
10/15/02
Jeong sensitively gives her film an underlying sadness as the young women cope with the changes in their lives
12/13/02
Take Care is nicely performed by a quintet of actresses, but nonetheless it drags during its 112-minute length.
12/06/02
Top CriticA refreshing Korean film about five female high school friends who face an uphill battle when they try to take their relationships into deeper waters.
10/18/02
The level of maturity displayed by this 33-year-old first-time feature director is astonishing, considering her inexperience and her subject matter.
12/17/02
Jeong's evocative visuals of the urban landscape and her savvy deployment of appliances only deepens the resemblance such stories have to our own lives.
05/28/03
Top CriticTake Care of My Cat offers a refreshingly different slice of Asian cinema.
12/03/02
The year 2002 has conjured up more coming-of-age stories than seem possible, but Take Care of My Cat emerges as the very best of them.
12/10/02
Sluggishly paced but otherwise harmless drama about coming of age in South Korea.
10/18/02
The filmmakers' eye for detail and the high standards of performance convey a strong sense of the girls' environment.
08/28/02
Although laced with humor and a few fanciful touches, the film is a refreshingly serious look at young women.
10/17/02
Jae-eun Jeong's Take Care of My Cat brings a beguiling freshness to a coming-of-age story with such a buoyant, expressive flow of images that it emerges as another key contribution to the flowering of the South Korean cinema.
12/13/02
Top CriticThe film engages with the divergent paths taken, linked by childhood friendship and a mewling kitten, but a third act event is presented so abruptly it confuses the viewer until it rebounds somewhat with a satisfying closure.
03/16/03
In this vivid, emotionally complex ensemble piece, Korean writer-director Jeong Jae-eun portrays this extraordinary turning point in every woman's life.
10/22/02
The problems and characters it reveals are universal and involving, and the film itself -- as well its delightful cast -- is so breezy, pretty and gifted, it really won my heart.
01/16/03
Top CriticEvokes a palpable sense of disconnection, made all the more poignant by the incessant use of cell phones.
10/14/02
A captivating coming-of-age story that may also be the first narrative film to be truly informed by the wireless age.
