"[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."
