Critic Reviews for Overseas

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6)

Occasional staged soliloquies jar with the film's delicate vérité approach, but Yoon's eye for composition remains precise throughout.

Neil Young
Hollywood Reporter
South Korean-born, Brussels-based director Sung-a Yoon does not succumb to emotional blackmail or oversimplification... moving away from those vulnerability and pitiful portraits. [Full review in Spanish]

Sung-A Yoon addresses [the phenomenon of migration] from a perspective anchored in the micro and the individual, the feminine and the emotional. [Full Review in Spanish]
