  "A coming-of-age tale from Mongolia, “The Sales Girl” is equal parts raunchy and sweet, a film that appreciates sex both for its absurd humor and its revelatory capacities. [It's] mix of fantasy and deadpan realism gives “The Sales Girl” its winning charm and casual profundity."

  "[T]his candid big-city coming-of-age story deserves international exposure. [T]he film shares the slightly edgy but ultimately sentimental vibe of certain underground comics (“Ghost World” comes to mind) or the work of American indie director Sean Baker...."

  "Bayartsetseg Bayangerel in her very first acting role as Saruul is just perfect. Her counterpart Enkhtuul Oidovjamts, in the enigmatic role of Katya, shows her talent and years of experience as a popular theatrical actress giving her character several layers and great depth. All in all, “The Sales Girl” confirms... that director Janchivdorj Sengedorj is one of the best voices of contemporary cinema in Mongolia...."

  "Janchivdorj Sengedorj’s award-winning film is thoroughly enjoyable.... Having directed a variety of genre flicks from the 2011 crime thriller Thief of the Mind to 2017 sports drama White Blessing, Sengedorj now seems to be even more in his element with his mature handling of this winsome sex comedy."

  "Janchivdorj Sengedorj’s “The Sales Girl” is a wise and winsome coming-of-age story... a searching and heartfelt meditation on the nature of happiness in a world that seldom has much of it to offer. Throw in rich cinematography and a gorgeous indie pop soundtrack by Dulguun Bayasgalan... and you have a memorably wistful tale about the feeling that “life will pass you by while you’re walking around staring at your boots.”"

  "The Sales Girl is more than merely a sexual coming-of-age tale. It’s a modest rumination on life, our purpose here, and the pleasures we find along the way."

  "Like a Wong Kar-wai film, the narrative is always in service of the character beats set to a memorable soundtrack."
