Reviews

“★★★★★ – The obvious point of comparison for this comedy of murderous errors is Bong Joon Ho’s2019 Oscar winnerParasite. Both deal with latecapitalism’s smashing of a family with violent intent;both mix violence and we’re-all-screwed-anyway humour. But Park Chan-wook’s film feels like a successor rather than a competitor.”- Time Out

“★★★★★ – No Other Choice sees Park at his most biting and brutal, but not without emotion.”- Little White Lies
