Lady Vengeance Ratings & Reviews
cultfilmliker
May 27, 2025
The vision is so bold. Incredibly inventive direction and writing. I see Tarantino and Wes Anderson in this Some of the coolest transitions I’ve seen in film. Just absolutely incredible visuals all-around. Wildly convoluted plot. Have no idea whose story went where and when tbh lmao so many off-screen and non-linear, interweaving narrations it was truly tough to keep ahold of. Mainly in the midst of all the inmates’ backstories and roles in the plot. I’ll take some of the blame just bc you know I miss some things sometimes lolol Was almost getting bored after an hour and some but thankfully the third act really turns it up! The most gut-wrenching chair pull of all-time. Good God The subtitles are awful when watching on MGM+ via Prime Video. Blend in with the background a lot of the time making them unreadable! Come on! (edit: wiki’d the plot, realized what I missed, bumped it up at least a half star for now lol)
Bitch Media
Alyx Vesey
[Sympathy for Lady Vengeance] far surpasses Oldboy in its ability to dazzle and unnerve.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
What most will take from Lady Vengeance is a director in love with film and the ability to express that passion through the language of his medium.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
... as brutal as it is beautiful.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
... Lee Yeong-ae is simply riveting in one of the most exciting female performances of the year thus far.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Squanders plot impetus, and even with constant crosscutting it's lethargically paced, slogging through soap-operatic back stories and maddening irrelevancies.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The films strain to present some kind of moral compass, a philosophy of revenge's human toll. But in the end, their sadistic glee in creative bloodshed trumps all.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
Apart from Park's impressive but ultimately hollow style (his images are impeccably composed and visually inventive), Lady Vengeance is still an exercise in wretched excess (though less extreme than its predecessors).
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Powered by a glowering performance by actress Lee Young Ae, it is a walloping tale.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
For once Park has stopped smirking long enough to consider the practical point of violence in a way that's pertinent to his own gruesome cinematic pursuits.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Hell can't possibly get any more beautiful, or strange, than the way it's rendered in Lady Vengeance.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
If Lady Vengeance is just a slick cheap thrill, it also boasts extraordinary performances and unusually skillful, eerily beautiful production.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A film with the capacity to both sicken and delight, a dark thriller with an obsessive, shocking story, shot in gorgeous images that heighten the gruesomeness and horror of what they reveal.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
[An] inflammatory, inimitable movie inventory of hell on earth.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
South Korean director Park Chan-wook's tremendous conclusion to his Vengeance trilogy is a modern classic.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
While Lady Vengeance is not quite as devastating or brilliantly plotted as Oldboy, it's still a solid punch to the soft stomach of the modern crime thriller.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
In the end Geum-ja emerges as a stirring feminist icon...
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Novices should prepare for mind-bending bloodshed and violence.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
The last of director Park Chanwook's revenge trilogy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is another astonishing achievement of slasher-style justice, moral tussles, and eye-candy design ...
New York Times
Nathan Lee
... a kinder, gentler exercise in empty virtuosity.
