John Anderson Wall Street Journal Dec 5
“Between Goodbyes” concerns the most important event that ever happened to the real people in this real story. And yet it is precisely a lack of hyperbole or hysteria -- a quieting control, one might say -- that makes it so moving. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Vanilla H @RT37988282 3d I’ve watched many of both documentaries and fictional stories about Korean adoptees but I had yet to see one about a queer and trans Korean adoptee. It’s important that our stories are told and the nuances of our experiences are captured. This was done beautifully; both raw and gut-wrenching, cathartic and captivating. Thank you Jota, for this film. See more Read all reviews
