The President's Last Bang comes off as all too ridiculously believable.
Ted Fry, Seattle Times

Although a tad long-winded and plodding, it's vigorously acted and persuasive, leaving the viewer to suspect that Im's account, drawn from historical records, could be pretty close to the truth.

This meticulously well-made picture is disarmingly funny at times ... but also subdued and straight-faced, with one eye planted on 1979 and the other on the violent student demonstrations looming in the distance.

Im Sang Soo is, film by film, challenging the way modern South Koreans think and behave.
