Lina V @viktorijalina Dec 15 One of the best movies out there. The plot is completely unpredictable, the characters are revealed very meticulously and new information keeps showing up until the last minute. Also the cinematography is just generally great See more Juanita V Nov 27 Watch it, won’t regret it! See more Alain E @AlainE Nov 2 I will not join the chorus of enthusiastic reviews. A very long movie with elaborate double crossings, eventually reveals that the winners are two young women who instead of harming one another, as it was the plan drawn by evil men, develop a lesbian romance and come on top , in many ways than one. Photography is excellent. With the many flashbacks it becomes increasingly difficult to understand in what phase the two protagonists are currently engaged. There is a generous amount of female nudity, including a long scene of lesbian sex in several positions. Other movies have been accused of gratuitous content, but Mr Wook apparently has solid credentials.

See more Aluna U Sep 23 The Handmaiden, adapted from Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, masterfully transposes the 19th-century London setting to 1930s Japanese-occupied Korea, creating a rich and visually stunning historical backdrop. Told in three intricately woven chapters, the film unfolds with gripping suspense, emotional depth, and narrative twists that keep viewers fully engaged. With award-winning cinematography, meticulous artistic direction, and powerful performances—especially from debut actress Kim Tae Ri—The Handmaiden stands out as a bold, sensual, and unforgettable cinematic achievement that expertly blends mystery, romance, and rebellion.

The actors are what bring it to life more so than the directors vision imo See more Read all reviews
