No Other Choice

"With humour blacker than black bean noodles, the film is a masterful work of cinema which might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece. And given this is the man who directed The Handmaiden that’s saying a lot."
– TIME OUT

"There are any number of movies about people who try to reinvent themselves in the face of a crisis. There are many fewer movies about people who violently refuse to even consider that idea — people who would rather kill someone else than become someone else. Park Chan-wook’s bleak, brilliant, and mordantly hilarious “No Other Choice” is the exception that proves the rule.... The rare film that feels sympathetic toward its protagonist without ever rooting for him, and Lee’s elastic performance as Man-su is key to the balancing act of Park’s tragicomic tone."

"The more chaos descends, the more meticulous Park’s filmmaking becomes, as he finds giddy new ways to exploit pre-established quirks of terrain and architecture... The latest exhibit in the mounting body of evidence suggesting Park Chan-wook may be the most elegant filmmaker alive."
– VARIETY

"Working with cinematographer Kim Woo-hyung, Park has once again made one of the most visually captivating films of the year."
