how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 250 comments (208 from Reddit, 39 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 57 of them described how it moves.
➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. In the last stretch it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. It tightens hardest in the first half. Marked above the line: 4 that got a real laugh.

“The ending cut was masterfully done. From the rest of the family finally being able to hear the daughter's beautiful cello playing. Right into it being drowned out and overpowered by a grating, brutal and deafening industrial whirr.”

“It’s an incredibly dark ending but the tone is so well balanced between the comic, the dark, and the dramatic so that you’re simultaneously laughing and groaning in horror”

“The scene where Man-su confronts Beom-mo at gunpoint was my favorite. The scene is so suspenseful, but it's also fucking hilarious.”
SanderSo47 · Reddit ↗
“Such a great pathetic ending too. Mansu is celebrating but he’s all alone in a place filled with soulless machines”

“Especially later into the film.”

“The part where Man-Su takes off the multiple layers covering his gun hand still makes me giggle. So hilariously pointless.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“No Other Choice isn't just Park's funniest film, but his most humane, too – and that's quite something for a comedy as violent as this one.”
Nicholas Barber, BBC · 100
“With humour blacker than black bean noodles, the film is a masterful work of cinema which might well be Chan-wook’s masterpiece. And given this is the man who directed The Handmaiden that’s saying a lot.”
John Bleasdale, Time Out · 100
“Well shot, well acted and with locations that vary from brutalist factory sites to beautiful nearby forests, No Other Choice is both believable and absurd as it unfolds. But its social relevance remains spot-on.”
Jim Slotek, Original-Cin · 100
“The tone is so farcical that the gruesomeness of some of Man-su’s acts come slyly.”
Jake Coyle, The Associated Press · 100
“The story entertains from start to finish, and the filmmaker absolutely delivers another home run.”
Rick Hong, Film Threat · 100

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
