"My intention was to create a painting that spoke of my memory of halmoni's and
of halmoni's memory of herself."

Audrey Magazine, November 2003
"Not only does Kim tackle the sensitive subject of children and their awareness of
sexuality, she casts an Asian family to convey that theme. [-] The film's central
theme is how children make sense of their parents' teachings and learn to discover
their own identities even if that means going against what they've always been taught."
LA Weekly, April 16, 1999
"Kim makes a strong impression with Layers of Us, her documentary focusing on
immigrants of Korean heritage from Brazil."
