- 100RogerEbert.comRoger EbertRogerEbert.comRoger EbertIt is in every frame a beautiful and powerful film — a masterpiece.
- 75Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBoston GlobeWesley MorrisThe finished film, which was completed in about 11 days, has the tidiness and optimism of a fable. But it showcases certain hard facts of life in a war-torn country whose scars have yet to heal.
- 70The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottWhat is most impressive is the care with which Mr. Chung manages this risky undertaking. He seems to have made this film above all by listening and looking.

- 60The Hollywood ReporterRay BennettThe Hollywood ReporterRay BennettEarnest and slow, the film takes time to reveal its intentions and the result is worthy but not engaging.
