Premise

A former actress with a secret returns to Seoul to live with her sister in a high-rise apartment and meets a director to discuss her return to acting.

Reviews

One of Hong’s most emotionally generous films. In a career full of small triumphs, it’s a beautiful gesture of family love, of non-specific spiritual awakening, and self-possession meant to create outward waves of goodness.

Dave White: TheWrap

In Front of Your Face is a mysterious, gentle piece of work, unworldly and effortless.

Peter Bradshaw: Guardian

The subtle game of seduction and inebriation is a sort of hyperrealism that’s way more poetic than exact.

Elsa Fernández-Santos: El Pais
