This is powerful stuff, so why does the movie feel less convincing the longer it goes on? There are two ways to tell this story -- coolly distanced or melodramatically hot -- but [director] Kim combines both approaches, and the mixture doesn't congeal.

Top Critic
Top Critic As tautly 'pretty' and inexpressive as the results for those who compulsively seek cosmetic perfection.
07/18/07
Top Critic It’s a strange and subtly told tale that successfully hacks into the desires and fears of most us who are trying to figure out how to make love work -- without sewing it all back together into a nice, pretty package.

For some, the film will be a tedious experience, while for others it will raise disquieting questions.
07/14/07
Few modern filmmakers are as adept at crafting a haunting image as Kim.

An uncanny and thoroughly creepy nip-yuck nightmare about plastic surgery and identity.

Viewers in Gotham will be perplexed, frightened, disgusted -- and, mostly, entertained.

Top Critic An unnerving riff on South Korean women fixated on the idea of ul-jjang ('best face').
07/13/07
Top Critic Throughout Time, Kim Ki-duk flips between soapy melodrama and dry, self-aware comedy. The effect is thrilling and disorienting, like walking on a trampoline.
07/13/07
Top Critic A truly unpredictable film and you watch it transfixed by its singular peregrinations and the fatalistic determination of the monumentally wrong-headed Se-heui.
07/13/07
A mesmerizing film by South Korean director Kim Ki-Duk about cosmetic surgery and the yearning of those who put their faith in external physical changes to their bodies.
07/12/07
In addition to statements about urban anonymity and the cult of beauty, writer-director Kim is also making a mordant statement about love, the kind you can get lost in while losing yourself.
07/12/07
Top Critic With a wry tone all his own (the writer-director calls his thesis 'absurd'), South Korea's Kim Ki-duk asks in his calmly assured spellbinder a simple question: How far can we go to transform who we think we are?
