Aloners Ratings & Reviews
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
Aloners is Hong Sung-eun's first film and it announces her as a voice to be listened to in the film world.
Latinx Lens
Rosa Parra
A look at isolation and loneliness in a time where the pandemic has forced it upon many. A thought-provoking premise that reminds us that biologically we're social animals.
The Young Folks
Allyson Johnson
While the film ultimately tries to accomplish more than it can handle, it at the very least is a sure indicator of new rising talent with Hong Sung-eun.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
In one of the most complex and intriguing performances of 2021, Gong keeps us guessing about what Jin-na is really thinking and feeling.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
A low-key, thoughtful meditation on the difference between being alone and loneliness, isolation and independence, Aloners is a quiet, thoughtful and sensitive debut feature from a filmmaker to watch.
That Shelf
Rachel Ho
At its heart ... Aloners is a formidable meditation on the thin line between anti-social and asocial.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A wistful story about relationships: building new ones and repairing damaged ones. It's a meaningful film that's filled with hope and optimism, even if it takes a little while to get there.
Screen Rex
Hannah Lodge
A strong first feature debut for writer and director Hong Sung-Eun, Aloners is the perfect ode to the universal feeling of loneliness and isolation that was so deeply intensified during the pandemic.
About Boulder
Tim Brennan
When we talk about a slice-of-life movie, we mean the kind of film that isn't plot-focused, but immerses us into the particular life of a person. That's what Aloners does so well.
AWFJ.org
Sherin Nicole
Aloners is more relatable because it is harder to connect in this era of constant contact, and by refusing to add adornment to Jina's solitude, the film is an unhurried mediation that allows us to reflect on our own forms of exile.
Paste Magazine
Brianna Zigler
For a directorial debut, Aloners showcases Hong Sung-eun as an exciting new voice-hopefully next go around she'll give us a little more to chew on.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
Hong's greatest strength is restraint. At every moment in which she could turn the film into an easier, feel-good story about a woman being taught how to wake up to life, she pulls back.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
Gong portrays an aspect of modern Korean life that you won't find in K-pop sitcoms about golden children destined for glamorous futures...
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The bittersweet Korean drama "Aloners" works best when it's a character study about an isolated thirtysomething's behavior instead of whatever her creators think should be done about it.
Film Threat
Sabina Dana Plasse
It's a moving drama with an excellent central performance.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
While the message is pat, the way it's presented is poignant, thanks to an arresting lead performance from Gong, who manages a tricky balance of chilliness and charm.
Variety
Claire Lee
A reflective interrogation into modern loneliness, as well as the silent brutalities of today's urban life defined by competition, technology and nonstop productivity.
In Review Online
Esmé Holden
Aloners, Hong Sung-eun's debut feature, recognizes that isolation in the 21st century isn't quiet or even really solitary; any emptiness is always full of something, and even if it's little in substance, it can be large in quantity.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
"Aloners" is being marketed as an exploration of a life isolated by choice, but it felt much more about how easy it can be to become isolated when you're dealing with grief.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
This subtle, but effective vision of loneliness is wholly emotional and relatable, especially now. Featuring a powerful central performance, it marks a stellar directorial debut from Hong Seong-eun.
