In Water Ratings & Reviews
Boston Hassle
Joshua Polanski
The fuzzy pixels lose their clear, creaturely outline and in that moment the look of the film we've watched for almost an hour finally articulates itself through the depression of the in-world director.
Spectrum Culture
Miyako Pleines
In Water spends most of its time lingering on the in-between moments, but if you take a moment to wade deeper into Hong's film, you'll find it has more to offer than just its unique visual style.
The Chinese Cinema
Sean Gilman
In Water is one of Hong's most beautiful movies, as well as possibly one of his bleakest, and completes a kind of trilogy about the joy and agony of making cinema along with Introduction and The Novelist's Film.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
In Water, aside from being out of focus, has something to say about how the creative process is mostly about existing in the moment and staying in tune with elements that others might overlook.
Battleship Pretension
Scott Nye
The attraction is the experiment, and the experiment is lovely.
Paste Magazine
Jesse Hassenger
In Water has more of a sad-sack quality than...In Our Day, yet its images of young people wandering around in search of inspiration, artistic or otherwise, also have a shivery, ghostly edge that makes the melancholy feel earned.
Film Inquiry
Lee Jutton
Like the best of Hong's own films, it meshes life and art into something entirely new, complete with a melancholic ending that draws from Seongmo's other memories and utilizes a song he wrote himself.
The Verge
Kevin Nguyen
Hong makes the type of thing that every streamer and algorithm is allergic to.
Screen Slate
Elissa Suh
In <i>The Novelist's Film</i>, Hong took interest in how the rhythms of daily life find resonance within a creative mind. Here he more explicitly articulates the struggle to unlock expressive powers, capturing the practicalities of the process.
Vague Visages
Fedor Tot
In the context of a film festival, in the context of Hong's career - a director whose work gets better the more you watch it - the 2023 movie feels amusingly brilliant, both a genuinely sincere work from a master and a brilliant work of self-satire...
The Film Stage
Rory O'Connor
The results might leave you with a mild headache, yet they're nothing if not effective: melancholy, dreamlike, even beautiful in their own shimmering way.
In Review Online
Ryan Swen
So, it's fascinating to see how, if not [Hong's] mindset, then how his process is imparted onto someone on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of life and experience
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Connoisseurs of Hong Sang-soo's cinema will no doubt be fascinated by the transcendent minimalism of the film, which suggests Picasso knocking off a sketch on a piece of paper in a matter of seconds.
AwardsWatch
Savina Petkova
In Water aims to be a prick in the fabric of both film history and Hong's filmography, but even in the hour-long duration, the blurriness does not fully hold up to its experimental potential.
