Hyptnotic, poetic, and kind of harrowing. My favorite Steven Yeun performance. Not to mention the beautiful cinematography and music.

Steven Yeun really outdid himself here. As well as the other actors. Worth a watch.

Economic disparity shown through an unique lens!!!

Definitely a “slow burn” that eventually rewards your patience. When you look back, the signs were there but still a startling conclusion.

A different and difficult movie. A poetic, deep and multi-layered narrative of a romantic and ambiguous relationship. Not everyone's taste

One of the best films ever made. Amazing visuals, music, acting and pacing, complete with a complex story

A slow first half leads into an intense, smouldering thriller. That one sunset scene was absolutely magical.

My favorite film of 2018. All you need is one word to describe this film: ambiguity. slow but strongly compelling, this film sticks with you

Just incredible. Makes great use of it's slow burn pace to create tension and makes the payoff so worth it.

Extremely slow burn, with a good payoff (not great) characters were interesting and the plot kept me guessing.

It’s a slow burn but the atmosphere is incredible and the payoff is unforgettable.

This is a slow burn mystery/thriller. Like most Haruki Murakami novels, the plot is murky. Leaves you unsettled. A little long.

Slow but thrilling. A story that allows different interpretations... Great direction and acting. One of the best movies in 2018.

Great movie. Not for everyone, but the ambiguity of it is beautiful. You don't get the full answer so you'll have to figure it out yourself

Everything is executed masterfully. The cast, script and cinematography intertwine to create an unexplainable experience unlike any other.

One of the best of Korean cinema, must see ...

The Korean countryside is gorgeous in this, and the characters are gripping.

Steven Yuen has never been better than he is in this psychological slow burner. Riveting!
