Discretion is the better part of boredom here.

There are glances and nervous hands, longing gazes, and downcast faces needing explanation or consolation. Malone and Keough, perfectly cast and perfectly in sync as people who should be - but probably never will be - lovers, make sadness seem enticing.

Little is resolved, and it will leave you contemplating the mysteries of relationships.

I think it's [So Yong Kim's] strongest picture yet and proof that even with a small budget, the right casting decisions can take a project from good to great.

Tender, poignant and refreshingly true-to-life. Riley Keough and Jena Malone give raw performances. It's more powerful than Moonlight!
March 06, 2017
A character study of this relationship, casually yet carefully sketched out by Kim in subtle but meaningful gestures and glances. Much is communicated through the eyes, searching for answers in the void of what's not said, but felt.

Kim's latest -- like Carol made on an indie budget -- is split in two exquisite halves.
February 17, 2017
A simple, though achingly insightful, story that illuminates the intense, complicated affection between girlfriends with sensitivity and restraint.

Kim has wisely provided her two stars with enough breathing room to bring her movie to life.
February 12, 2017
So Yong Kim's film ultimately manages a convincing articulation of friendship between women.
February 17, 2017
The overall effect is one of a disjointed love story that can never quite find the tune, no matter how skilled its players.
