Our take

Already heralded as the female counterpart to Hong Sang-soo, Jeong Ga-young once again plays a director engaging in awkward confessionals in her hilariously irreverent meta-comedy. Heart cheekily defies the usual portrayals of women and romance, and doubles as an audacious reflection on filmmaking.
