Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The problems and characters it reveals are universal and involving, and the film itself -- as well its delightful cast -- is so breezy, pretty and gifted, it really won my heart.
Jae-eun Jeong's Take Care of My Cat brings a beguiling freshness to a coming-of-age story with such a buoyant, expressive flow of images that it emerges as another key contribution to the flowering of the South Korean cinema.
A captivating coming-of-age story that may also be the first narrative film to be truly informed by the wireless age.
Take Care is nicely performed by a quintet of actresses, but nonetheless it drags during its 112-minute length.
