Reception

edit

Film Threat said "I do like the insights that are uncovered between the pair in Walter Kim’s script." and "As an Asian-American myself, I love seeing our stories on screen in a refreshingly authentic way."

Overly Honest reviews said "Banana Split is a confident, emotionally intelligent debut that understands the power of small stories told with precision....in a landscape crowded with louder, more declarative indie dramas, that restraint feels radical in the best way possible."

Just For Movie Freaks said "Banana Split is a sincere, well intentioned indie that understands its characters and their emotional terrain."

Unseen Films said "This is a super little film and a great way to start off the new film year." and "I want to see what director Walter Kim does next because his deft creation of a world and characters may seem simple but it speaks volumes about his understanding of the world and how best show it on screen."
