	Author	Review
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"A short and sweet divertissement with a few profound punchlines."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"[A] lovably slender, semi-sweet character study, 'Claire’s Camera' deftly captures the festival’s warmly disorienting effect on its stragglers — in this case, two bright, lonely women"	POS
United States	Sam C. Mac Slant	"'Claire’s Camera' isn’t only charming and funny, but also one of Hong’s most formally intuitive and sharply written films in some time"	POS
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"A thoroughly engaging divertissement (...) Hong is wise enough not to overextend himself, wrapping things up early via a beautifully rushed ending"	POS
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"[Hong's] tightrope-long takes of scenes filmed in settings ranging from the picturesque to the banal (...) have an intricate dramatic construction"	POS
United Kingdom	Jason Bechervaise Screendaily	"While 'Claire’s Camera', set during the 2016 Cannes festival itself, is charming in places, and bears the hallmarks of his idiosyncratic style, it ultimately feels dashed and somewhat shallow."	NEU
