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.
It's actually quite satisfying, in a weird, magical-realism sort of way that manages to disturb and confound as much as it appeases the romantic.
Kim works with the barest of materials but returns the viewer's attention to the pure visual pleasure of filmmaking.
Moves from a strangely spiritual reality to a really strange spirituality -- and leaves its best parts behind.
Evanescence is the movie's most distinguishing characteristic.
3-Iron matches apparent simplicity to a beguiling inscrutability and ends with the most beautifully bizarre menage a trois to have been seen since Takashi Miike's Gozu.
Beautifully staged an performed, a sly wit with the camera work, an almost silent presentation of a lovely story.
It's a tribute to Kim's masterful mysteriousness that you are never quite sure what your exact reaction should be, as well as the fact that it's all highly intriguing rather than inscrutably annoying.
Lo mejor de esta fascinante y extraña película es todo lo que dispara en el espectador en su intento por encontrarle un significado.
3-Iron est un autre bel ajout à l'univers plus serein de Kim Ki-duk.
I cannot get this thing out of my head. Lovely and subtly horrific.
Super Reviewer
Taking 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.
First 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.
Proof 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.
