Leave your thoughts about In Another Country.
| Slant MagazineMaggie LeeBeguilingly simple, relaxed in its mastery and enhanced by Isabelle Huppert’s impeccable poise. |
| Slant MagazineJesse CataldoHong Sang-soo hits the beach once again in his latest project, another austerely amusing study of hopeless neurotics making a mockery of leisure. |
| IndiewireEric KohnIn Another Country is a paragon of any given Hong movie's intrinsic charms, and yet it also manages to break from the pattern by including an English-speaking character as one of its leads. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohIsabelle Huppert has an inviting, steady glow in Hong Sang-soo's loosey-goosey, humorously light celebration of the French star, cinema's possibilities, and his colorful, endlessly combative homeland. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe conceit is slight, but Hong's playful structure conceals sharp observations about fantasies, communication, and how foreigners and natives interact. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoIf you take the film as the bauble it is, you'll be entertained by its lighthearted wit, social observations and resolute sidestepping of profundity. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyHong Sang-soo's intricate new comedy of broken romance reaches exquisite heights of self-mocking pathos, painterly finesse, and symbolic density. |
| Screen InternationalDan FainaruYet another loving tribute by Hong Sangsoo to French cinema, somewhere between inconsequential and flimsy but pleasant to watch all through. |
| NPRSam StanderHong's fast-and-loose narrative silliness does require a certain amount of patience from the viewer. Plot details conflict, and assumptions about a character's role and relationships will probably be upended - but all to fascinating or greatly comic effect. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoIf you stare at it too hard, In Another Country, an exercise in drollery from South Korea's Hong Sang-soo, simply evaporates. But if you take the film as the bauble it is, you'll be entertained by its lighthearted wit, social observations and resolute sidestepping of profundity. |
