	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"'The Woman Who Ran' touches rewardingly on themes such as relationship dynamics and gender roles. The delicacy of the predominantly female-driven storytelling is unassuming but beguiling."	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"Hong made a feature called 'Woman is the Future of Man,' but it’s the delightfully slight, slightly delightful 'The Woman Who Ran' that assumes that that future is now."	POS
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"The results are not only intriguing and sometimes hilarious but clearly also a sincere meditation on what you might be saying when you think you aren't saying much at all."	POS
United States	Rory O'Connor The Film Stage	"Hong’s style continues to disarm, not least his eye for deadpan observational humor."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"There’s plenty of depth lurking in the small, unassuming moments that contribute to a larger whole. 'The Woman Who Ran' exemplifies the some of best aspects of Hong’s fast-and-loose approach"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Watching this film means recalibrating your expectations so you can gauge the subtleties and absorb the sotto voce implications about relationships and sexual politics (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
