Reviews

Li Sian Goh

The drama combines the sumptuous art direction and black humor of Park's past work with a warmth and compassion that feeds the soul.

The Blue Lenses
Once again Park finds himself immersed in a world of woman-driven intrigue, and like Stoker before it The Handmaiden is concerned with the power dynamics between women in what are contextually configured as sexually transgressive scenarios.

The Handmaiden is exemplary proof of Park's mastery, a high point from a director known for his purposeful aesthetic care, even in matters of overwrought sexual melodrama.
