age, and that's one of her defining charms as an actress." Go was also
applauded by film critics, with Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post
complimenting her "exquisite performance," and Megan Ratner of the
Bright Lights Film Journal noting her "unforced naturalness,
reminiscent not only of Ana Torrent but of Zazie's Catherine
