An elderly farmer lives out his final days with his wife and a loyal ox in the Korean countryside.
Leave your thoughts about Old Partner.
| New York PostV.A. MusettoToo bad there isn't an Oscar for best performance by a beast of burden. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaria GarciaSouth Korean documentary-narrative hybrid centers on an aging couple and their ox. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferPoignant, well-shot and haunting, albeit somewhat repetitive at times. |
| Boxoffice MagazineEd ScheidAn unexpectedly absorbing look at determination in a vanishing way of life. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasOld Partner isn't entirely the story of man and ox shuffling off into the sunset together. It's also the story of poverty, sacrifice, physical agony, and very real emotional tumult. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonOne does leave with a rarely vivid sense of the grind of time, in work and marriage. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerThe film's unrelenting presentation of raw misery not only shortchanges the fullness of the subjects' experience, but with its hovering, pitch-perfect camera-eye, feels dangerously like an invasion. |
| User ReviewAustin DMy favorite doc from Sundance 2009. A meditation of the old ways and the new, as well as friendship between man and beast. |
| User ReviewYerim MThis movie's making sensational nation-wide hit in Korea right now though it's a documentary with low budget, and getting popular by spreading among people. And it's very touching, indeed!! |
| User ReviewPeter SSuperb documentary that has broken the record for highest grossing independent film in Korean history, this was unlucky not to win the "World Cinema Documentary Prize" at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The themes and countryside setting are very simple yet its the impact this has on viewers whilst humanizing man's relations with animals, that makes this a very touching film. Highly recommended. |
