TheWrap -
Chon’s dense, ambitious, and observant film is full of impressive craft and insight.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Gook rises above message-movie mediocrity, enjoying its characters too much to use them as political mouthpieces.

Movie Nation -
Touching, disheartening and surprising, Gook punches through the noise of 2017’s clamor over race with a sobering look at a defining moment in modern American history. It’s a simple, straight-forward and compelling reminder that the villains and the victims were spread further across the spectrum than we’ve ever dared to accept.

The Film Stage -
Chon has a vision and a voice and a good story to tell, full of social relevance and fiery emotion. Something this energetic and cared for is hard to criticize all that much. It’s a film worth seeking out and telling others about.

New York Post -
If the plot becomes a bit scattered in its third act, a generous interpretation might be that it’s a reflection of the chaotic cultural backdrop. Chon directs with style and a humane eye for all parties; he’s a dynamic young director to keep your eye on.
