Reviews

Rolling Home with a Bull received a mixed reception from critics, with an IMDb rating of 6.4/10 indicating moderate appreciation. While it did not garner widespread international attention, reviewers praised Gong Hyo-jin’s heartfelt performance, which added emotional depth and authenticity to the film’s quiet storytelling. Critics from some Asian cinema outlets lauded the film’s slow pacing and picturesque rural settings, noting its contemplative mood as refreshing against more fast-paced dramas. However, some felt the narrative lacked strong momentum and that the minimalistic story might not engage viewers looking for a more dynamic plot. The film's strength lies in its subtle exploration of human relationships and the understated drama of everyday life, resonating with audiences who appreciate character-driven stories and artistic direction. On review aggregator platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, official scores are scarce due to its limited release, but niche film critics have recognized the film's delicate portrayal of personal journey and rural authenticity.
