I do not understand why (re)viewers always tend to add non related matter to reviews. This movies kicks in very slow, grabbed me by the chest, and left me with just enough breath to let me watch the credits. It’s brilliant by any means, and just because it gave me an absolute delirium it deserves a 10. It deserves this score just because I think we need to get back to feel movies instead of ‘judging’ it… all the extra information is nice, but it should not be mixed up with the feeling you experience during a movie. I think I will explore the Korean cinema for a while, that’s for sure!

Woman was roleplaying in real life and somehow got bored of it. The cinematography in this movie is well done as is the both romantic and tragic story told within this movie. Not as good as Oldboy, but still really good.

It's hard to rate this film below 8/10, although the story itself doesn't move me too much. But the point of view from which this romance is told and this cinematography with such careful framing and staging, deserve more. A great Park Chan-wook that I will have to see again on second reading, when so few things are left to chance in this "Decision to Leave".

Are you a mountain or beach person? Despite the premise of a police procedural with goofy moments of comedy, “Decision to Leave” slowly shifts toward a toxic and unconventional melodrama. Although I can see why the film has been described as Hitchcockian, Park’s direction gives an entirely new taste to what could have been a typical vintage neo-noir plot centered around a femme fatale. This time the focus is on elegant visual subtexts rather than the quirky gimmicks and plot twists one would expect from a Park Chan-wook film. Although I need to rewatch with better subtitles to give myself a better idea, the narrative felt a little messy and self-indulgent, especially when going through the investigations and side cases. This, paired with the highly conceptual nature of the film, ended up affecting my emotional involvement in favor of the enjoyment of my cinephile brain.

Based on the pacing and acting, this should be a top-tier movie, but I found it difficult to watch because of the cruddy subtitles I had.

It seems that this director has lost the skill to make good films. Compared to other Korean thrillers such as New World and Yellow Sea this is a rather poor effort. By trying to charm simultaneously both Chinese Censorship bureau and European festival board members, the director has made a film whic More

Decision to leave looks great. The way the camera moves, the layout of the scenes and the staging of it all, great. But, its a bit plodding, and I didn't quite understand the character motivations. I partly wonder if im at a loss of understanding the korean/chinese ethno-nationalist relationship, si More

"Decision to Leave is far from Park Chan-wook's best works, but it's still an intriguing, layered story about obsession and "forbidden love".

It captures the viewer's full attention during th More
