Not my favorite Chan-wook film I’ve seen, but still well worth watching. Every character is expertly written, and absolutely fucked up and depraved in one way or another - as expected.
I felt like this could have been trimmed about 30 minutes and made a much tighter film. The final half hour or so was absolute perfection though.
I almost started feeling bad for the mom by the end. Her situation is my worst nightmare.
