Justin Chang The New Yorker May 28
A riotous mashup of thrillingly staged and daringly attenuated chase scenes, mordant small-town comedy, and delightfully craptacular C.G.I. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) May 20
2/5
Only 20 minutes short of three hours, it’s a monster-centred action flick from the South Korean director Na Hong-jin that takes a swerve halfway through into something different but still feels relentless and repetitive. Go to Full Review John Bleasdale Sight & Sound May 20
There is nary a moment of boredom and its numerous peaks of exhilarating action are often undercut by a laugh-out-loud payoff. Brilliantly crafted and beautifully shot, we can only hope this wild film gets the follow up it so richly deserves. Go to Full Review Kwesi Kennedy Geek Girl Riot / RIOTUS 1d
C+
Unfortunately, (the film) makes a number of stumbles that hamper the rest of the film and begin to make it’s over two and a half hour run time begin to feel like a confusing setup for more sequels. Go to Full Review Marcelo Paredes Cinencuentro 1d
Na Hong-jin proposes numerous ideas, some much better integrated than others, and constructs a film capable of generating a reaction, even if it's not necessarily positive. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Wael Khairy The Cairo Scene 1d
"Hope" may not entirely hold together, but even in its messiest moments, Na Hong-jin proves he remains one of contemporary Korean cinema’s most exciting filmmakers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
