neutral · AI labelView post →Oh my God y’all. OH MY GOD. Go see the Korean comedy-thriller NO OTHER CHOICE as soon as you possibly can. I will be floored if it doesn’t win Best Foreign Film at the Academy Awards. I have not laughed this hard in a movie in years. Without hyperbole, this film is a masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →Park Chan-wook tells us how Lee Byung Hun was cast in ‘NO OTHER CHOICE’ “Because this project couldn’t find an adequate amount of investment in the U.S... over those years, Lee had reached the right age to play the role by the time I decided to change this into a Korean film.”
neutral · AI labelView post →watching No Other Choice right now, movie starts: wife: oh a South Korean movie that isn’t about everyone losing their jobs, how refreshing *movie gets five mins in wife: oh….
neutral · AI labelView post →In any event, as friends know, my take is that if you didn’t see the “international” films out this past year, you missed many of the best. In addition to the “international feature film” nominees — especially Sirât — do not miss No Other Choice. Those two were two of my favorite films of 2025.

positive · AI labelView post →Genuinely puzzled by the negative critical response to How to Make a Killing. It’s the best time I had in a movie theater since Send Help/No Other Choice, and feels like it’s directly in stylish conversation with both of those. Plus it’s hysterically funny. Don’t believe the anti-hype. Go see it.
positive · AI labelView post →for @gqmagazine.bsky.social, i talked to No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook(!!!!!) about his side-passion: photography
neutral · AI labelView post →I admire the structure of NO OTHER CHOICE so much. At first I thought it was glib, then slapstick. Then noir. But it’s racing through a history of film, lingering at times in an eddy, toward our devastating present. What a year for movies ‘25 was! And for radical movies to boot.
positive · AI labelView post →Park Chan-wook and NO OTHER CHOICE on The Big Picture, let’s go. He made a film about a diminished middle-aged father who takes his job and career within an evil cutthroat system far too seriously. Hard to believe it resonated with your boy… open.spotify.com/episode/4awc...

neutral · AI labelView post →NO OTHER CHOICE was fantastic and I hate that every movie is reflecting the same dystopian moment in the working world that we’re all sharing now but whatever it ruled, then went to a midnight showing of THE THING and it was less scary

neutral · AI labelView post →OUT NOW: The Sickos watched the 2025 movie No Other Choice, a movie about loser husbands with no jobs. Personally we think it is so rude that we were not cast in a movie based on our lives but whatever, we don't speak Korean. This movie is insanely funny and fucked up, Sickos fans cannot miss it

positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Park Chan-Wook's No Other Choice, and it reinforced my first impressions: 1. It's probably his best film. 2. It's some of the most meticulously constructed cinema you'll ever see. Everything has narrative and thematic purpose. 3. I'll probably never "like" it as much as The Handmaiden.

neutral · AI labelView post →Godzilla Minus One might be my favorite movie with no modifier needed I also LOVED No Other Choice and am still irate that it got snubbed so hard by the Oscars
positive · AI labelView post →No Other Choice: what a picture. Also, if Parasite — a movie also about work and social/class status and insecurity and the rot that these systems sow in people — was a precursor to COVID and the pandemic, I’m kinda scared to think about what horrible thing No Other Choice might be foreshadowing.

neutral · AI labelView post →NO OTHER CHOICE is a movie about a guy in a dying industry whose job technology has made obsolete and who maintains an unhealthy attachment to analogue media, which means I could not identify with him in any way whatsoever. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-other-c...
negative · AI labelView post →Oh me oh my. No Other Choice sure is a weird (and very good) serial killer movie. Here's my review
positive · AI labelView post →I decided to follow this up with No Other Choice and let me tell you it is even more brutal. Possibly Park Chan-wook‘s most difficult film, which, see his filmography. It’s also a masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →For movie night tonight, should I watch No Other Choice or The Secret Agent?
neutral · AI labelView post →Of all the dark themes in film for 2025 I think Park Chan-wook’s ‘No Other Choice’ is the darkest of them all while also being a comedy.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie review : NO OTHER CHOICE. Flawless black comedy, non stop back and forth between painful wincing and laughing at some honestly incredible gags, with almost no in between. No notes.
