Press Quotes
An intense and, for the first hour, sickeningly violent film that unexpectedly segues into a moving psychological study.
—Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter
There's a real tenderness to the two performances, particularly that of Jeong-jin Lee... And the disturbing, vaguely Oedipal relationship at the core is a fascinating one...
—Oliver Lyttelton, IndieWire
