the way bong joon-ho found a way to sneak humor here is incredible classy
Amazing cinematography, writing, and actors. One of Bong-Joon Hos best works.
Great film. Writing and cinematography are masterpieces.
BJH does so much in 2 hours and does it seamlessly. From the vibes to the socioeconomic commentary, to the multiple hilarious dropkicks
Probably my favourite Bong film. The Pacing is perfect. Performance is outstanding. I can’t stop thinking about those damn flying kick!
An absolute mind bender. Requires a rewatch for sure. Along with Zodiac, two do the best psychological thrillers
Perfectly moody noir, with a few surprisingly funny bits, and even more incredible double drop kicks.
What makes this movie special is intentional comedic moments, without disrupting the suspense and thrill, it is a unique talent of bong.
Eerie and leaves with a feeling of uneasiness. Thrilling watch
A brilliantly told story, which is possibly the best Bong Joon Ho film I've seen
