Cunning while grounded drama that has scoured subtlety and an ode to conversations, albeit unvarying.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 8, 2024

Hong structures an introspective and minimalist story that often enjoys a sober Kim Min-hee performance, however, at times I have the feeling that it repeats itself uselessly without going anywhere specific. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 15, 2024

Though only one woman has run in The Woman Who Ran, it seems like every woman wants to.

The Woman Who Ran is a pleasurable glimpse into the life of a normal woman in Korea. Hong Sangsoo provides a sensible story...

| Original Score: A | Mar 20, 2023

Theres no escaping men, but there is always the cinema. This might be one way of summarizing the latest from the prolific Korean Director Hong Sang-soo.

| Feb 25, 2022

Always the keenest of social observers, Hong fills each scene with parallels, coincidences, and behavioral ticks.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 5, 2021

More than any filmmaker of recent years, Hang-soo reminds his audience that such social performativity isn't without its perils.

| Dec 5, 2021

Hong is a certified member of the Woody Allen film world where strange things always happen!

| Dec 5, 2021

This lean but deceptively rich feature can be seen as the apotheosis of Hong Sang-soo's interest in the act of conversation.

| Nov 8, 2021

Perhaps the loosest of Hong's more recent films, even less invested in a particular destination than usual, as it focuses instead on exploring subtle human interactions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 29, 2021

A profound and sincere story about friendship, appearances, and the half-truths we decide to share with others. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 9, 2021

A laid-back vibe and relaxingly repetitious structure conceals a complex character study.

| Aug 3, 2021

Each chapter of The Woman Who Ran is funny, moving and absorbing on its own, but the film is even more intriguing to think about afterward as you puzzle over how those chapters fit together.

| Jul 22, 2021

In his relaxed style, South Korean writer/director Hong Sang-soo observes individuals, casually but meaningfully, as they reveal themselves in informal, quiet moments.

| Jul 20, 2021

Completely beguiling .... this movie looks casual, but something urgent and human is at stake.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 16, 2021

Real ladies, as delivered by Korean master Hong Sangsoo, show up readily in 'The Woman Who Ran,' though it's a few flummoxed men who might be fleeing after dealing with them.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 13, 2021

The Woman Who Ran is a film of fitful politesse, where potentially discomfiting topics only arise to the surface when they're coaxed by some external, disruptive element.

| Jul 13, 2021

Slowly, without us quite realizing it, we are sucked into a narrative we didn't see coming, watching as she makes her way forward to the actualization of her repressed self.

| Jul 12, 2021

There is a fascinating enigmatic dimension in each scene that encourages us to play detective. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 12, 2021

"The Woman Who Ran" is a cinematic sketch, and also the work of a master.
