Wesley Morris New York Times 02/16/2022
I was taken with most of this movie. It’s got a firm sensualist grip. Go to Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety 03/10/2021
Nothing much happens inside its 97 minutes, but take any single one of its frames, and everything is happening inside that. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 02/22/2022
This is the kind of mannered, minimalist exercise that will doubtless exasperate those not expecting or in the mood for a thick slice of slow cinema. But despite the occasional longeur, I found it quite enchanting. Go to Full Review Leonardo Goi The Film Stage 03/17/2021

A majestic and perturbing tale of ghosts, dreams, and longing. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 03/16/2021
3.5/5
Immerse yourself in its hedonism and you'll find yourself enthralled by its quietly powerful imagery of humans seeking fulfillment in life's simple pleasures, of which there's really only ever a taste. Go to Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily 03/12/2021
While Lê is not yet effortlessly fluent in a cinematic language he obviously favors, the maturity of voice in his very first film is still mighty impressive. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/19/2022 The movie smeared Vietnamese culture badly. The characters in the movie have a sick lifestyle: they not only eat naked but also bathe together, cook together and pee together, all naked. I am a native Vietnamese and I can confirm that we don't have a sick lifestyle like that. The writer and director must have no knowledge of life. They made a movie about a crippled soccer player living with 4 tailors in a extremely large workshop. With that large house, they must be rich but they chose to live like that. This movie makes no sense! See more Read all reviews
