Top Critics Reviews

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

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.

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:
The art of the tease is rarely as refined as in "The Handmaiden."
– Manohla Dargis,
New York Times,

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.
