Pretty good but felt too long and without enough new to say. The editing and cinematography (especially the blocking and composition) were outstanding.
Park imo needed to work harder to distinguish it both thematically and narratively from Parasite and Squid Game... we get it SouthKorea, you have serious issues with capitalism and US imperialism. I would too if i were you, just feels like you're stuck in a thematic rut of bleak depravity.
Also this is a more personal complaint but I just don't really enjoy spending my free time anymore watching flawed people do evil things. There's no one here to root for. And yes i know that's the point, but i think that point is trite. I also suspect our media's disproportionate focus on such stories is pretty unhealthy for society as a whole.
