• “It’s a gorgeously and grippingly made picture and Tang Wei is magnificent.”

  Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100

• “Crafted with unforced humor, ravishing visuals and commanding maturity, Decision to Leave intoxicates with its potent brew of love, emotional manipulation — or is it? —and obsession.”

• “After the world-conquering success of Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” and the small-screen domination of “Squid Game,” your new, sublimely accomplished Korean thriller obsession is here, and it is Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave.”

• “We expect cinematic fireworks with a stylist like [Park]. It’s his sense of restraint and his substance, however, that makes what could have just been a clever check-out-these-moves exercise feel like a genuinely emotional showstopper.”

  David Fear, Rolling Stone · 100

• “A love story by turns sprawling, despairing and invigorating.”
