	Author	Review
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"It is - for all its charms, and despite Hong's trademark formal experimentation -- ultimately rather lightweight stuff"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"'In Another Country' looks very much like something written on a napkin and shot in the one afternoon that Huppert could come to South Korea. Slight, diverting, forgettable (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'In Another Country' is at once a comedy of manners and an oblique commentary on the power of cinema to expose and alter reality"	POS
United States	Maggie Lee Variety	"Beguilingly simple, relaxed in its mastery and enhanced by Isabelle Huppert’s impeccable poise"	POS
United States	New York Post	"Hong's playful structure conceals sharp observations about fantasies, communication, and how foreigners and natives interact (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
