Grass Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Lawrence Garcia
By the end of the film, Areum is forced to reckon with the very people she so casually, even callously inserted into her writing.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
One of the best expressions/variations on Hong's usual formula.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Much less consistently enjoyable than many Hong films twice its length, Grass compensates for its dramatic slackness and deviant sobriety by honing in on the ideas that its director's work often skirts around.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Takes snippets of overheard conversations and turns them into something wonderful and new, a summation of life's tiny moments made disarmingly momentous.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
[Sang-soo] still didn't run out of narrative possibilities within the breezy, light fluency that characterizes his filmmaking style.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
With Grass, Hong has taken the familiar elements of his work and exploded them, fashioning a kind of lonely cinematic cubism.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
At this point it feels as though Hong can create a lovely composition or reach psychological insights offhandedly-the films successfully translate his carefree filmmaking process into narrative form.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"Grass," true to its title, is small, sharp and bladelike.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
This movie, like most of Hong's others, doesn't pass judgment on its largely passive protagonist. In fact, it suggests that observing the people that pass through one's sight and hearing is an entirely valid mode of living.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Hong turns the café and its narrow alley into a graveyard of emotion. With a disturbing simplicity, he maps a passing vortex of pain onto bare and banal places and, in the process, rescues it from oblivion.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
The black-and-white "Grass" is a deceptively potent entry in the canon, a thimbleful of purest, concentrated Hong-brand soju.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
The choice to shoot in unspectacular black and white and in uninterrupted long takes (par for Hong's course) brands it as mainly for the fan club, whose ranks seem to grow with every new addition.
Film Inquiry
Soham Gadre
Hong Sang-soo's Grass is a movie defined through its visual cues and their intimate dance with the words that try to define them.
The Cinessential
C.J. Prince
There's more fun to be had with the contradictions Hong can bring up and explore in the span of one hour than what most other films can muster up with two.
The CriterionCast
Joshua Brunsting
Hong Sang-soo returns with his 22nd film, a masterpiece that turns a simple, almost theater-like premise into an ambulatory rumination on life and death.
Battleship Pretension
Scott Nye
Like most of Hong's work, there isn't much of a lesson or conclusion to anything, and we're left to make our own assumptions the way Areum does.
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
Hong is generally at his best when examining how men and women interact and this setting allows him to once again put those subtleties and idiosyncrasies at the front of his lens or, perhaps more accurately, under his microscope.
The Playlist
Bradley Warren
For all the artists that populate Hong Sang-soo's cinematic universe, the director has yet to foreground the creative psyche in as thought-provoking of a manner as he does in "Grass."
MUBI
Daniel Kasman
Whatever state of existence Grass is taking place on, one thing is for certain: It's Hongian playfulness of surprisingly soulful intrigue.
Unseen Films
Nathanael Hood
Watching Grass is the cinematic equivalent of chewing raw tofu--perhaps good for you, but entirely flavorless.
