Satisfying, charming and surprising - a film that keeps its supernatural elements grounded in reality, with the focus on the spirituality of true love.

<Based on a series of American shorts from 2012, in which a man goes to sleep and wakes up every day in a new body, it's an often charming, magical-realist illustration of the old maxim that beauty is only skin-deep. But it could have been so much more.
Cary Darling, Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com

The film, pleasing and inoffensive, often amuses as it wrestles with the nature of familiarity as well as the question of where beauty resides.
Helen T. Verongos, New York Times

Bottom line, The Beauty Inside works for the fantastical, soft focus romance it is.
Elizabeth Kerr, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Nothing ever truly challenges either main character's conception of love in general and the person they love in particular; if anything, these unique circumstances serve only to reinforce Woo-jin's assumptions.
Michael Nordine, Village Voice
