There is a wonderful natural quality to Jeong's storytelling that is enhanced by cinematographer Young-hwan Choi's graceful camerawork and by a dynamic, contemporary score from M&F.
Jeong's movie is at its best when it forgets about everything but the interactions of its cast, whether they're together or communicating via one of Cat's cleverly orchestrated cell-phone scenes.
Nicely performed by a quintet of actresses, but nonetheless it drags.
Gentle, low-key first feature.
Captivating coming-of-age story.
The episodic film makes valid points about the depersonalization of modern life. But the characters tend to be clichés whose lives are never fully explored.
As it abruptly crosscuts among the five friends, it fails to lend the characters' individual stories enough dramatic resonance to make us care about them.
