Thirst Ratings & Reviews

  • RickJune 7, 2025
    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.
