The graphic sex scenes radiate an uncommon heat, and Im can pull off a hugely effective shock when he wants to.

The movie kowtows to the old truism that the rich are different - but it does it with a sardonic smile.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Writer-director Im Sang-Soo injects a certain sense of otherworldliness in the proceedings -- the final scene is straight from David Lynchland --- which may not make things mesmerizing, but does deliver a consistently odd angle.

"The Housemaid" scores on so many levels it's hard to know where to begin.
