An engrossing, if demandingly obscure, watch.

If the snail's pace doesn't send you to sleep, you'll be rewarded with a tender and unusual love story.

What is so engaging about the film is the way its director, Ki-duk Kim, manages to keep our interest intensely focused on the couple.

A movie meant to be taken on faith more than anything else. The more you can grant it, the greater the reward.

For the most part they achieve a delicate balancing act, mixing near-silent comedy with an old-fashioned sense of whimsy.

Oct 07, 2013I cannot get this thing out of my head. Lovely and subtly horrific.Kevin C Super Reviewer

Nov 30, 2012Taking homage from directors such as Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle, Kim Ki Duk creates a silent story of romance and life. Ambitious as it is ambiguous, 3-Iron is a melancholy tale that asks its audience to think differently.paul o Super Reviewer

Sep 28, 2011First of all I m going to try to find out the arabian song he kept playing. A very very intense Movie. It is just so hard to describe this Movie. I think you have to watch it by yourself. The main characters dont talk a word except the last scene one line. If you really pay attention you are going to enjoy and understand, especially because the main characters dont talk a word but if you like "rush rush" you d be bored. An unssual and BEAUTIFULL STORY.Wahida K Super Reviewer

Aug 27, 2011Proof that you don't need dialog when your characters and their actions are interesting enough. Of course, there is pleasure in talky scenes à la Tarantino, but this Korean film, directed by Kim Ki-Duk, driven by body language and nuance, does so well without them. There are a few plot inconsistencies, but this near-silent drama (which surprisingly enough doesn't shy away from some light comedy) is still effective, thanks in part to Lee Seung-yeon's fierce performance.Fernando Rafael Q Super Reviewer
