Eul-Boon Kim's soulful portrayal of the illiterate, deaf-mute grandmother illuminates the dignity of her demeanor and the sad resignation in her eyes.
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News

The film has good actors and enough quirky moments to keep it interesting.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald
Rotten
The film is meant to be simple and charming. Unfortunately, it's simple and boring.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The pace is slow, the message none too subtle and the boy barely tolerable. But the film is still better than the mainstream run of movies from Hollywood.
