Reviews
Critics have given "Remembrance of Yusin" mixed reviews, often appreciating the documentary's thorough archival research but critiquing its narrative perspective. On Rotten Tomatoes, the documentary holds an audience score of 68%, indicating a generally favorable reception among viewers interested in Korean history. While some reviewers praise the film for its painstaking detail and balanced presentation, others feel it lacks a critical stance, potentially downplaying the oppressive aspects of the Yushin regime. An independent reviewer from Asian Cinema Perspectives remarked, "The documentary is invaluable for understanding South Korea's political history, but at times it appears to sympathize with Park Chung-hee, which may not sit well with viewers seeking an unequivocal condemnation of authoritarian rule." IMDb users rate the film at 6.7/10, reflecting its niche appeal. Metacritic does not have enough aggregated critic reviews to provide a score, pointing to the film's limited international distribution. Overall, "Remembrance of Yusin" is considered an insightful, though somewhat controversial, historical documentary that sparks discussion about South Korea's complex past.
