1987: When the Day Comes Ratings & Reviews
TheDivaReview.com
Diva Velez
Heartbreaking and inspiring, dark and illuminating, 1987: WHEN THE DAY COMES shows us how the power and beauty of cinema can capture a moment in time, and its ability to frame and glorify the human spirit.
Film Threat
Adam Keller
1987 speaks more to our current moment than anything Hollywood is producing.
Variety
Maggie Lee
A compelling depiction of how brave individuals from all walks of life mobilized a whole nation to bring a recalcitrant dictator and his henchmen to their knees.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
here's an admirable dot-connecting quality to "1987," akin to HBO's "The Wire," as it wends from backroom scheming among powerful men to street riots starring an angry public ...
Asian Movie Pulse
Panos Kotzathanasis
"1987: When The Day Comes" is an impressive production, which includes almost every element of Korean cinema that has made it so popular internationally. However, everything that is bad about the country's movie industry at the moment is here also.
Cinema Escapist
Richard Yu
1987 shys away from the bullet points that historians have recorded in favor of the unremembered individuals whose actions contributed to free elections in South Korea.
Film Journal International
David Noh
The filmmakers turn these historical events into a satisfying, fast-paced, gripping and smart thriller, focusing on a myriad of characters all united by their activism and disgust for the men in charge.
