	Media	Author	Review
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"I can highly recommend checking out 'JUNG_E'. It’s action, thriller, sci-fi, and a whole lot more. A strong story that focuses on so much more than what we might be able to do in the future (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"When it explodes into a few action sequences, it makes one wish that they had been spread out through the film (...) 'Jung_E' feels like a movie made by an undeniably talented director who just didn't have quite enough ideas here (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
		James Marsh South China Morning Post	"'Jung_E' shows a reluctance to explore science, technology or futurism themes except in the most superficial and speculative way, as if merely acknowledging them is sufficient (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It sometimes struggles to merge its dystopian themes. However, the action scenes result in a hyper-fueled science fiction film with quick shots of pure adrenaline (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		The Review Geek	"[The] exciting premise with much potential falls flat in the second half as you keep waiting for the conflict only to realise the movie is almost coming to an end"
		John Serba Decider	"Memories may last forever in this world of replacement bodies and brain cloning, but the movie doesn’t offer us much worth remembering"
		Andrew Webster The Verge	"'Jung_E' takes its time building out the relationship, using its sci-fi premise to add a few interesting twists and surprises that make it hit even harder"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"The film turns out to be visually striking and narratively muddled"
		Al Horner Empire	"It may be unevenly paced, but 'JUNG_E' delivers where it matters: propulsive action sequences, emotive drama and grand existential questions about the human connections that sustain us (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
