Consensus: Stylistically flashy and gruesomely violent, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance fits in nicely with the other two films of Park's revenge trilogy.

Reviews for Lady Vengeance
The kind of glorious sensory rush that you can only get when a supremely confident director fully kicks out the jams. Submerged within the flash, however, is a nihilistic worldview that may be even more curdled than its predecessors.

in Lady Vengeance, revenge is ultimately a shabby, sordid business that leaves everybody soiled and in need of purification - or at least of a pie in the face.

If you have a taste for revenge or just a taste for wickedly well-done filmmaking, help yourself to a serving of Lady Vengeance.

What most will take from Lady Vengeance is a director in love with film and the ability to express that passion through the language of his medium.

No capítulo final de sua trilogia sobre a Vingança, Park (com seu dom habitual para criar belíssimos quadros) concebe um conto de moralidade surpreendente, complexo e assustador, levando o espectador a confrontar sua própria percepção sobre o assunto.

Park Chanwook's latest revenge thriller isn't as graphic as earlier ones, but may be even more psychologically violent -- and that's a compliment, as it leads to astounding revelations about guilt and justice.

The theme of how all-around bad revenge is starts to wear a little thin... But there's always a perverse delight in just watching how a Park movie is executed.

It has an operatic scale and an emotional eloquence and, along the way, in the juxtaposition of its variously conflicting elements, we see how vengeance turns to redemption.
09/14/06
may be the most emotionally affecting, perversely amusing and deeply disturbing of the trilogy.

Park cleverly shows us that justice and revenge can be equally horrifying

Top Critic
Somewhere over the course of this trilogy, most of the flavor has gone out.
07/13/06
This edge pushes Lady Vengeance into the trilogy's top spot and points to a bright future for Park.
07/08/06
... Lee Yeong-ae is simply riveting in one of the most exciting female performances of the year thus far.
