Critic Reviews for The Woman Who Ran

All Critics (25) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (25)

  • Pretty much all the way through, nothing very sensational seems to be happening. And yet the movie's sensational meaning is hiding in plain sight: in the title.

    Peter Bradshaw

    Guardian

  • South Korean writer-director Hong Sang-soo makes deceptively simple films that become more complicated upon consideration, and no less is the case with his 24th feature.

    Kathleen Sachs

    Chicago Reader

  • The film's placid surfaces and unexceptional events glint with sharp-edged observations and shudder with vast passions.

    Richard Brody

    New Yorker

  • Hong Sang-so invests the ironic, despairing theme of the film with humor and empathy.

    Chuck Bowen

    Slant Magazine

  • Just because you think you've seen this story before - or think you've got it all figured out - doesn't mean it lacks additional wisdom to impart.

    Eric Kohn

    indieWire

  • The results aren't only intriguing and sometimes hilarious but clearly also a sincere meditation on what you might be saying when you think you aren't saying much at all.
