Critical response
[ edit ]
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 97% of 29 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8/10. The website's consensus reads: "An emotionally impactful portrait of familial love, Riceboy Sleeps sees writer-director Anthony Shim reaffirming that the most personal stories are often the most universal."[10]
Allan Hunter of Screen Daily Lee Isaac Chung 's Minari Christopher Lew ’s gently roving camerawork and single takes invite the viewer to lean in, observe and take stock of all the emotions at play. The changing aspect ratios (Canadian sequences are shot in 4:3) also reflect the confinement and openness of the different countries. And he is well served by his cast, with an impressive So-young capturing the determination and fortitude of a character who puts everything into giving her son a new and better life."[11]
The film was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2022.[12]
