Reviews
- "Crafted with unforced humor, ravishing visuals and commanding maturity, DECISION TO LEAVE intoxicates with its potent brew of love, emotional manipulation — or is it? —and obsession."
- The Hollywood Reporter - "Park’s funny, playful, and increasingly poignant crime thriller is less interested in what Hae-joon (Park Hae-il) knows about his suspect than in how he feels about her"
- IndieWire - "DECISION TO LEAVE is ultimately a seductive romance, one made all the more fascinating by the boundaries the characters tread but never dare cross. Stories of longing are so tantalizing because they hang in that gray space of potential. The build-up is often more gratifying than the release, and Park wrings it for all its worth."
