Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin CovertIt's a rich stew of a tale, with Korean resistance fighters, Hungarian revolutionaries, Japanese police officials and double agents. Running at 140 minutes, "The Age of Shadows" is worth every moment.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Jessica KiangThe Age of Shadows has no pretensions to being a particularly deep or politically resonant piece of filmmaking. Its more that Kim Jee-woon has found in this era and this milieu the perfect inspiration for a blisteringly entertaining and exquisite genre exercise, one that may not be recognised as such only because we we have never expected genre films to be this good.
The Young Folks - 9/10 by Gary Shannon[Kim Jee-woon's] plot is labyrinthine and almost inscrutable, but he relays information with a fast and slick artistry.
indieWire - 9/10 by David EhrlichKim Jee-woon will always gravitate towards the bleaker side of the things, but “The Age of Shadows” suggests that his stories might benefit from just a little bit more light.
New York Times - 9/10 by Ken JaworowskiThe Age of Shadows might tempt another filmmaker to dwell on issues or delve deeper into its characters’ hearts. Yet, for this director, exposition can’t hold a candle to elegantly staged shootouts. And who can blame him. He knows his strengths.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Justin ChangNothing in this gratifyingly focused movie feels excessive or gratuitous, and a situation that repeatedly threatens to spiral out of control is dramatized with the utmost assurance.
Variety - 9/10 by Jay WeissbergIf anything, the film is most indebted to classic cloak-and-dagger movies, in which sharp, richly succinct dialogue and plenty of atmosphere seem effortlessly carried along by the force of magnetic personalities.
easternKicks.com - 9/10 by Harris DangWith stellar performances, thrilling set-pieces, masterful storytelling and top-notch production values, The Age of Shadows is a must-see for anyone who loves period films, spy thrillers and cloak-and-dagger flicks. Highly recommended.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Mark JenkinsThe movie’s visual panache and fog-of-war ambiguity are as universal as the desire to detonate TNT under your enemy’s headquarters.
Scotsman - 8/10 by Alistair HarknessThe convoluted story takes a while to get to grips with, but once the action kicks in, it's frequently dazzling - and fairly extreme.
