  • "Planet of Snail" is simple, direct and magical.

    Kenneth Turan

    Los Angeles Times

  • Gentle, simply told love stories are as rare in documentaries these days as they are in narrative film. That alone makes Yi Seung-jun's "Planet of Snail" a standout.

    Farran Smith Nehme

    New York Post

  • "Planet of Snail" offers a precious moment of clarity and simplicity amid a chaotic and poisonous summer, and tells an unforgettable love story to boot.

    Andrew O'Hehir

    Salon.com

  • With little story to speak of, Planet Of Snail is more of an experiential piece, closing in on the pleasure and wonder with which Young-chan takes in details like rain falling outside the window and the bark of a tree.
