Reviews
Now with Gook, Chon combines his innate talent for building immediately likable and relatable characters with natural chemistry amongst his cast to tell a more socially substantive story.
Oktay Ege Kozak, Paste Magazine
Chon's dense, ambitious, and observant film is full of impressive craft and insight.
Inkoo Kang, TheWrap
At Gook's best, Chon captures, with sharply memorable dialogue, both the essence of his particular characters but also the broad drift of generations.
