Our take

Hong Sang-soo’s minimalist cinema blends a playful, Rohmerian lightness of touch with an introspective melancholy that is just irresistible. The graceful Nobody’s Daughter Haewon follows a charmingly gawky young woman navigating loneliness and failing romance—and watch out for the Jane Birkin cameo!
