Critic Reviews for Microhabitat (So-gong-nyeo)

All Critics (8) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (2)

Despite its isolated strengths, Microhabitat suffers from an overall tonal inconsistency, its bid for pathos undermined by a broad approach that often borders on farcical.

The film is emotional in a slow build sort of way, giving the story time to develop, the viewer time to become invested, giving them something to think about that is something that is far more wide-reaching than some might think.

Emilie Black
Cinema Crazed
The unpredictable reactions from people that Miso hasn't seen in years allow for both biting humour and poignant moments, and Jeon handles these changes in tone admirably in this light, entertaining, and quietly rebellious feature debut.

Lee Som's performance as Miso is tragically sweet. Her portrayal is subtle and never confrontational.

Alan Ng
Film Threat
It's not a film about the defiance of a free spirit, rather the accommodations of an outsider who genuinely cares about others but not the society that has remade them.

Emotionally complex and bittersweet.

What really stands out here is that gulf of imagination that makes the experiences of the poor invisible to the better off.

Eye for Film
You hear what the film is saying, but the presentation is at arm's length from its own ideals.
