Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Eschewing his usual modus operandi for the rollicking tension of active kink, Park finds a percolating balance between sensuality and sin, and it might just win him admirers beyond the usual bloodthirsty fanboys.

The art of the tease is rarely as refined as in "The Handmaiden."

fresh:
Like a Victorian settee infested with vipers, Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden mixes the elegant and the dangerous, the refined and the venomous; it affects refinement and crawls on its belly. It's also apt to bite.

fresh:
Like Park's best work, it's an expressionistic, at times surreal movie that skates along the knife-edge of dreams. Every frame pulses with life, sometimes with blood.

Absolutely gorgeous, with so much attention paid to every visual detail from the costumes to the mansion's many rooms.
