NO HARD LINE FROM CANNES CRITICS ON A HARD DAY

Kim Seong Hung's A Hard Day is one of surprisingly few Korean titles at Cannes this year, but seems to be making up in quality what the festival lacks in quantity. Critics have been very positive about the thriller, noting both its nerve-shredding tension and the welcome addition of black humour to the genre mix. Read these reports from Maggie Lee at Variety, Jessica Kiang at The Playlist, Stephen Dalton at The Hollywood Reporter and Pierce Conran at TwitchFilm.
