Sangwon (Kim Minhee), an actress recently returned to South Korea, is temporarily staying with her friend, Jungsoo (Song Sunmi), and her cat, Us. Elsewhere in the city, the aging poet Uiju (Ki Joobong) lives alone, his cat having recently passed away. On this ordinary day, each of them has a visitor: Sangwon is visited by her cousin, Jisoo (Park Miso) and Uiju, by a young actor, Jaewon (Ha Seongguk). Each of them wants to learn about a career in the arts. But they also have bigger questions. Both Sangwon and Uiju have ramyun noodles for lunch and they both add hot pepper paste to their ramyun noodles, not a very common thing to do. As our friends talk and drink the day away, similarities between these encounters multiply and we begin to realize they may be more than just mere coincidence.

Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Jun 20, 2024
3/5
A film that feels like a worthy addition to an existing exhibition, rather than the opening of a whole new gallery wing. Go to Full Review Christian Zilko IndieWire May 17, 2024
B
It’s the kind of film that might be described as a “crowdpleaser” with minimal irony in niche indie film circles. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny RogerEbert.com May 17, 2024
3/4
[I]t’s a plain-looking, often wry, and lightly nourishing character study with a diptych structure that adds enigmatic intrigue to the proceedings. Go to Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine Sep 27, 2024
3.5/5
The actors, who have all worked with Hong [Sang-soo] before or will do so again, give engaging, naturalistic performances, and it's hard not to detect some autobiography, particularly in Uiju's character. Go to Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies Aug 29, 2024
3/5
It's a human and occasionally touching film, though it demands patience from viewers, asking them to find pleasure in the small moments and connect with its characters, a task that may not always come easily. Go to Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Jul 12, 2024
[In Our Day] is pure Hong Sangsoo. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Richard B @RichardB12314 Dec 8, 2024 Another low key movie that has deep themes that anyone can relate to. Characters look to others to find what they should imitate and refuse to look to themselves first. One character buys soap because people in Brazil like it. One loves poetry and yearns for an authentic life. Another likes cigarettes and alcohol, despite health problems. A beloved cat that likes to eat and follow instincts goes missing. A popular soup is eaten in different ways, for better or for worse. A guitar is a good present for some people but not for others. Personal preference and appreciation ties it all together, and one can simply wait for ones inspiration to guide them through different phases of life. It doesn't have to be so complicated. A lot of stress is let go of when the ultimate search is given up. See more Read all reviews
