Action/Adventure Rated PG-13
“…lets its central character’s vulnerability live and breathe.”
Comedy Rated R
“…runs on some delicious self-critique.”
“…can’t be denied as a landmark visceral experience, even if there are some solid reasons to resist it.”
Drama Rated R
“…it’s the sense of sadness that gives the movie its backbone.”
“Technology has enabled this Don to do what the original Don Juan may have ultimately wanted: to be pleasured alone, giving nothing of himself.”
Comedy Rated NR
“…strikes a balance between blithely endorsing the delusions of its mentally ill characters and comically demonizing them.’
“…a movie of wry simplicity that has been subjected to all sorts of avant-garde tinkering.”
Drama Rated NR
“None of it is very compelling, thanks in large part to Hong’s painfully perfunctory camera style.”
