    His English language films just can't seem to come together, tones that clash inelegantly, dialog is dumbed down and commentary just smashing u in the head. Robert P was v watchable. It was FINE, but a mess. Parasite, Host and Mother all just work so well. Like Okja and Snowpiercer, M17 fails to coalesce. Also, the film didn't feel cinematic like his Korean films do. Hopefully 5 years don't pass before his next film

    Well damn, as a person who isn't big into ghost stories, that was SO good!! I'd call it a dreamy thriller. Lush lighting, the Dad was so cute, the story was emotional but not manipulative. Took some tropes and flipped em in interesting ways. Idk, that's definitely top 3 Steve Sod movies.

    Okay, this movie was incredible. The flogging/music number was truly insane and objectively perfect. This is the most movie a movie has ever been. Extremely homoerotic, goddamn it. The amount of creativity is absurd. The leads are amazing....fuck, this music is pure euphoric joy

    Holy cow what a dark and layered film. The actors all uniformly killed it ESP Charles as Joe, his body language of a little kid. Portmans vampire like actions and Juliannas just creating this fantasy world. The mirrors, and cameras movements. Just blown away by this film.
