	Media	Author	Review
		Scott Tobias Variety	"A wise and gently absurdist allegory about how best to approach relationships."
		Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Hong has a distinctive voice and an interesting track record, but his latest exercise in flimsy whimsy is for indulgent hardcore fans only."
		Bradley Warren The Playlist	"Lacks the narrative intricacy of the South Korean filmmaker's most celebrated work but nonetheless serves as a charming introductory point for unfamiliar audiences."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"What most cements this as a essential chapter in the big book of Hong is how willing the film is to trip itself up and get turned around (...) 'Yourself and Yours' is like watching the Minotaur get lost in his own maze"
		Slant	"'Yourself and Yours's commitment to its various extreme ambiguities is a crucial facet of the film’s success."
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Hong Sang-soo uses his trademark long takes, with occasional zooms, to capture the meandering conversations that play out between the characters (...) Fortunately, the actors are more than up to the task"
