Brilliant and touching

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Beautiful Sunday is a South Korean thriller made with the usual style and panache that films from that country possess. It's a police procedural tale in which the police hunt for a serial rapist who has been abusing women in dark and dingy alleyways, but the film takes a turn for the psychological around the halfway mark with a big twist that takes it into an entirely different territory. It's confusing at times, but one of those films that all makes sense come the climax; the acting is of a typically high calibre and the photography quite beautiful.
