"A caustic portrait of the rat race as legitimately killer, and another feather in the cap of one of world cinema’s true maestros."
Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

"It’s bleak and hysterical and violent—everything you’d want from a Park film. But it’s also devastatingly intimate and intensely relevant, both in the ways it tackles questions of identity and our place within an increasingly dangerous system, one that could feasibly lead people to murder."
Graeme Guttman, Screen Rant
