Beautiful, angry and sad, with a curious sick poetry, as if the Marquis de Sade had gone in for pastel landscapes.

Spring, Summer fans should only have their appreciation of that film expanded by seeing this rougher take on similar themes.
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post

There is little question that this is a serious work by an important director who has something new to say about how, in the flip-flop of courtship, we often reel in when we should be playing out.
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News

A gorgeous and grotesque Korean film by director Kim Ki-Duk, who seems torn by his artistic and exploitive impulses.
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Once [Kim] begins to overplay the shock tactics and bait-and-tackle metaphors, you may decide it's too high a price to pay for a shimmering picture postcard.
Jan Stuart, Newsday
