Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

People who are giving this movie a one star rating need to stick with mainstream genres and not venture into dark underworlds. This movie was fantastic and a must see for anyone who enjoys a director taking you through a journey that will shock you, disturb you, make you laugh at times and generally leave you intrigued. The plot moves in a back and forth narrative taking you through one person's journey as they think things are taking place and then returns to the beginning to show the unexpected truth. The story is about the manipulation and oppression of women in a strong male dominated culture during the Korean occupation of Japan. The two main female characters are subjected to trickery that ultimately they use in their own way. There is strong adult sexual content that is very Asian culture based without which the movie would not reach it's fullest potential. There are no cutting corners with a story like this. If you can't stomach lesbianism and what would be considered perversion, then don't watch this movie. The acting was excellent, the story line tight and the filmography fantastic!
