Cast

Release

The film had its world premiere in the Discovery section of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, held from 6 to 16 September 2018.[3] It was then screened at the 23rd edition of the Busan International Film Festival in October 2018.[4]

Reception

Reviewing it for Screendaily, Jason Bechervaise called it an "impressive feature debut", with Choi Hee-seo delivering "a nuanced and dedicated performance".[5] While Variety's Jessica Kiang says, "a promising but almost willfully obscure debut" and "a convincing but underpowered exploration of female identity and alienation in status-and-youth-obsessed contemporary Seoul".[6]
