| IGN Movies UKChris TillyA confusing mess of a movie that lacks the marvellously sharp structure and cohesion of his previous efforts. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...strikes a balance between blithely endorsing the delusions of its mentally ill characters and comically demonizing them. |
| Examiner.comAdam LippePark's casting of Korean pop star Rain is as subversive as if he had cast a Beatles-era Paul McCartney as a serial killer in a slasher movie, but still instructed him to underplay his charms. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's almost as if the peculiar I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK was lurking beneath the surface of his psyche and needed to come out before Park could continue down his chosen path. It's not exactly brilliant or hilarious, but at least it's honest. |
| User ReviewTerri HOne of my favorite movies! It's a trippy movie, and the actors did a spectacular job! I especially love the flying socks! Also, Bi/Rain is a great actor in addition to being a good singer! |
| User ReviewElena Dthe most hilarious and romantic movie i ever seen, love it =) |
| User ReviewJaz ZOriginal, divertida, romantica, unica, lo tiene todo! entra a mi top 5 Park Chan Wook soy tu fan! |
| User ReviewHonghui YPark gets cute, kitsch and cuddly. One of the funniest and most visceral rom-coms ever made, with great performances from Rain and Su-jeong. Park Chan-Wook dives head first into each new genre and rarely puts a foot wrong. |
| User ReviewDiego F. VChan Wook Park se ha sabido escribir una pelicula re-loca y bastante compleja. Asi mismo, ha dirigido esta misma pelicula con el mismo profesionalismo que lo caracteriza. Maravillosa!!!. Es una exploracion exquisita de la psicologia humana desde el punto de vista de la 'locura' a partir de una serie de personajes internados en una institucion para 'enfermos mentales'. Algunos conceptos como el de 'psique' (psyche -alma- concepto ligado a la cosmovision en Grecia que designaba la fuerza vital de un individuo, unida a su cuerpo en vida y desligada del mismo luego de su muerte), salen a relucir en esta pelicula siendo manejado de una manera impecable. Es un filme bastante tierno a la manera de Chan Wook Park, director acostumbrado a tratar temas ultraviolentos, sadicos y macabros (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, OldBoy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance). Una ternura y una belleza neosurrealista bien llevada a escena gracias a una direccion de arte de superlujo con unos espacios formidables y unas actuaciones dignas de aplaudir. Los recursos tecnicos utilizados para esta pelicula son bastante divertidos y logran un realismo impresionante que por momentos hacen tener una lectura diferente de la pelicula. Otra estetica, otra tematica, pero llevada de la mano de este excelente director, hace que el filme sea bastante bueno. De 10. |
| User ReviewHelen JMy favourite film. I just love the insanity of it. It definitely needs to be watched a few times before you fully 'get' it, but it's definitely worth it. It's completely original and really rather adorable. I think this has been Bi Rain's best role as an actor, too. |
