Critic Reviews
-
Derek Elley, Variety
Softly sensuous from afar, but rather flighty on closer acquaintance, My Beautiful Girl, Mari is an extremely oblique animated feature that may, in fact, be about very little at all.
-
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
While familial subplots, schoolyard showdowns and a climactic sea storm feel somewhat detached from the narrative, the deep sense of longing that underlies this sweet-natured tale rings true.
-
Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Lee Sung-gang's exquisite tale of childhood remembrance and imagination is... a patient fantasy painted in swaths of color...
-
Phil Hall, Film Threat
Visually striking but dramatically confusing animated feature from Korea.
