Byungsoo, a film director, visits an old friend who has made her name in the world of design in her newly renovated four-story building, accompanied by his daughter Jeongsu, an aspiring interior designer. The three chat and drink amicably until a business call pulls Byungsoo away. When he returns, it's the same place, but a different time, and a different floor of the building… One of Hong Sangsoo's most intriguing explorations of temporality and use of space, the film daydreams about what it would be like to live someone else's life, or to have lived your own life differently.

“A remarkably tender film, Walk Up certainly won’t have you rolling on the floor, but it may have you – like its characters – pouring yourself glass after glass as you process its delicious complexities.”

Jonathan Romney / Screen Daily

“If ever you’ve glanced into lit-up living rooms while driving down a suburban street at dusk, or glimpsed a neighbor’s apartment over their shoulder when you drop off a package, and found yourself idly wondering not just what the inhabitants’ lives are like, but what maybe your life would be like if you occupied those exotic domestic spaces — well, has mischievous Korean miniaturist Hong Sangsoo made a movie for you. Walk Up, the festival darling’s latest benignly sozzled, black-and-white delight, daydreams around that idea, its gentle profundity smuggled in under cover of multilevel playfulness.”

Jessica Kiang / Variety

“[...] a film of gently discombobulating pleasures, constructed with a care and intricacy that never hinders the life, spontaneity and sense of possibility bursting out of every frame.”

Justin Chang / The Los Angeles Times
