Yourself and Yours (Dangsinjasingwa dangsinui geot) [Sub: Eng]

A wise and gently absurdist allegory about how best to approach relationships.

... Yourself and Yours is closer to a Rohmerian moral tale, with a single narrative track containing a situation that leads to personal self-discovery.

By re-asserting Min-jung's agency throughout, Hong toys with those who accuse him of complacency. Here behavioural response and re-evaluation is felt, rather than studied.

Korean director Hong Sang-soo has a unique ability to create relationship comedies that are both charming and puzzling.

The modesty of this film is an effective mirage: there are many ways of interpreting this story whose images are equivocally transparent and simple. [Full review in Spanish]

A film in simple appearance but that in its interior includes several layers talking about the indecision of a relationship and identity. [Full review in Spanish]

Although Lee Yoo-young's subdued performance as the film's lead is compelling, even Joe Swanberg completionists will struggle to find insights here.

A new demonstration of Sang-soo's mastery at constructing resonant narratives that are filled with abstract meaning. [Full review in Spanish]

Yourself and Yours is another delightfully charming comedy from the Korean master whose lightness of touch never belies the emotional depth lurking beneath the surface.

Hong crafts his films as if he's simply watching ordinary people, while simultaneously layering his gimmickry over average-seeming lives in order to reveal broader truths.

Even with the change of booze, Yourself and Yours sees the South Korean favourite in his usual offbeat yet observational territory.

Yourself and Yours's commitment to its various extreme ambiguities is a crucial facet of the film's success.
