Walk Up flows as absorbingly as a dream and is no less pleasurable to puzzle over afterward. Read full review

A conversation falters. Another bottle is opened. Three people share drinks and their universe is completely reordered. Read full review

To an even greater degree than in most Hong films, the film’s scenes of casual small talk, awkward silences, polite smiles, and glasses clinked to change the subject, open up faultlines in the characters’ lives. Read full review

A handful of characters... share wine and food as they converse, talking and talking and talking with a static camera watching from medium long shot. As in real life, the casual exchanges reveal a world of psychological attitudes and cultural attributes.
