Critic Reviews

Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
This is a pallid retread.
Jeremy Heilman, MovieMartyr.com
Beyond the Years suggests, rather simplemindedly, that purity of heart and endless practice are the keys to a great performance.

A wonderful movie that tells of an upsetting but everlasting love. The story of a man that falls in love with his adopted sister, as his father grooms her to become not only an incredible singer but also his future wife. Complex and often unsettling there is even an act that, though considered evil, is also heart achingly naive. The music is really the star, with wonderful traditional Korean sounds bringing poems to life. If that's the star then the beautiful Korean landscapes would win Best Supporting Actor. The final shot of two cranes flying over mountains and lakes is superbly shot and just gorgeous.
