Pieta Movie Review: | |
| May not rank with the operatic madness of Park Chan-wook, or the visceral overkill of Kim Jee-woon, but if you're still not sick of feeling sick, then Pieta might be the movie for you. William Goss-Film.com More philosophy than film at times, it asks questions without expecting easy answers. What is money? What is love? And what would you do for either? Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Expectedly gruesome in some of its details. But it's the explicitness about capitalism's emotional wreckage that gives this micro-budgeted drama a gut-punch heft. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times The newest masterpiece of sex and brutality by South Korean wild man Kim Ki-duk. V.A. Musetto-New York Post Filled with feisty women and cowering men, "Pieta" twists human emotions into pretzels of perversion. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times Kim offers no easy answers, and never backs away from the toughness of the questions, in a film that's ugly in both its material and its presentation. Keith Phipps-NPR The film contains some memorable moments, and a pair of fine performances, but it's hard not to feel that it would have proved more successful if it had stayed on the path it was heading down for the first forty minutes or so. Oliver Lyttelton-The Playlist The performances of these two leads are compelling and the Cheonggyecheon area can almost be seen as another character in Kim's morality tale. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Kim has a very specific wringer he intends to usher his pawns through and a particular course he's plotted to it. Consequently, a complex, troubling character study slowly becomes a borderline conventional narrative. Curtis Woloschuk-Paste Magazine It's a nasty, compelling thriller if you have the stomach, perhaps not as profound as it wants us to think it is, but sharply realized nonetheless. Joe Gross-Austin American-Statesman With its dazzlingly cynical story and intensely squalid setting, it's a trip to the dark side - indeed, the darkest side. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine It's like a dour, less stylized version of one of the violent revenge fantasies from Kim's fellow countryman, Park Chan-wook. A.A. Dowd-AV Club There is no denying Kim's ability to drag the viewer into those dark places of humanity that we don't want to go. It's not an easy film but it's a worthwhile one. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com ...as a character study and even as a thriller, PIETA creates an uneasy sense of dread heightened by the two terrific leads. JimmyO-JoBlo's Movie Emporium | |
