Movie Reviews
Reviews:
3 stars out of 4 -- "[E]ffectively atmospheric....Na paces and visualizes events with a perceptive eye for detail." - 06/03/2016 RogerEbert.com
"Pure evil proves an elusive matter for a provincial policeman to investigate in the Korean film THE WAILING, a supernatural thriller that veers between caustic comedy and blood-soaked horror over the course of its operatically intense two and a half hours." - 06/01/2016 A.V. Club
"It’s a film you watch in a state of slowly gathering dread -- not so much because it’s trying to scare you, but because you’re never quite sure, on a deeper level, what it wants from you....It’s a supremely patient freakout." - 06/02/2016 Los Angeles Times
"THE WAILING is the hard stuff. Handle with care." - 06/02/2016 New York Times
"Despite its epic length, THE WAILING never bores as Na slathers his tale with generous supplies of atmosphere and awfulness." -- Grade: B+ - 06/09/2016 Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- "[Na] takes his time setting up the investigative elements before peeling away these ostensibly formulaic layers to reveal a far more complex blend of police procedural, visceral horror, pitch black comedy and socio-theological allegory." - 11/21/2016 Empire
