		Monica Castillo rogerebert.com	"While the film is no more or less someone else’s reunion scrapbook, it’s hard to feel disconnected from the bright, excited faces full of curiosity and potential (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
		Tyler Geis The Review Geek	"This documentary heavily captures that feel of friends linking up and hanging out, and the lasting moments created from a simple thing like that. (...) Rating: ★★★★★★★½ (out of 10)"
		David Opie IndieWire	"It's to the doc's credit that [it] isn't just about Bong Joon Ho, because there are plenty of other interesting personalities in the mix too... Their joy in participating here is palpable"
		Brandon Yu The New York Times	"The documentary carries a couple of interesting insights into Bong’s own origin (...) But the doc mostly amounts to a sweet nostalgia trip about a niche group of obsessive young people"
		Marshall Shaffer Decider	"An affectionate tribute to how cinema can change people, and how people can change cinema"
