VI. Reception

Josée has gained the scores of 7.6 on Mydramalist, 6.8 on IMDB, 8.3 on Rakuten Vik, 8.6 on iQiyi. Asian Movie Pulse has reviewed it as - Josee is a mellow, amiable film which, although loses its steam drastically towards its conclusion, still succeeds in delivering meaningful plot-points punctuated with competent acting. Retaining the integral tiger and fish imagery through metaphors rather than obvious messaging when Kim’s narrative is at its fine-drawn best, this remake is undeniably compelling.
