A Taxi Driver Ratings & Reviews
Sarah G Vincent Views
Sarah Vincent
A Taxi Driver's goal is to get ordinary viewers willing to risk their life and sacrifice their financial well being to help redeem others' names from slander in the name of truth and democracy
There Were No Gods Left
Joshua Polanski
It still pulls more from its viewers: Do these images pain you? What choice will you make when our world asks for you to make a choice?
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
"A Taxi Driver" is an engaging and educational historical drama that sheds light on a tumultuous period of South Korea's history. It's also well-paced and features great performances by its talented cast.

Filipe Freitas
Despite overlong and emotionally elaborate, Hun Jang's drama film has its moments and ensures amusement.
Reel Rundown

Violently captivating and emotionally effective, A Taxi Driver showcases the talented Song Kang-ho with one of the most invigorating and captivating performances of 2017.

While conventional wisdom would lead to you expect a somber affair, Jang instead takes a national tragedy and crafts a winning film about sacrifice and honor.
Variety
Maggie Lee
An entertaining journey into a tragic and violent chapter of Korean modern history.
TheDivaReview.com
Diva Velez
An eye-opening look at a tragic moment in time, A TAXI DRIVER veers dangerously into schmaltz, but is kept afloat by the fluid, feeling performance of the innately watchable Song Kang-ho.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A richly imagined tribute to a working-class hero.
Anchorage Press
Indra Arriaga
Jang Hoon's vision is focused and his delivery is compelling. While the story praises the courage of Peter to tell the story of a massacre that would have otherwise been swept under the rug, the heart of the story is in Mr. Kim's personal transformation.

Mary Ann Brussat
The inspiring story of a South Korean cab driver whose life is transformed by his heroic activities during the 1980 Gwangju Uprising.

Song's performance makes me wish the rest of A Taxi Driver was as thoughtful.
Film Journal International
David Noh
Elementally simple storytelling, possessing one helluva wallop.
Counterpunch.org
Louis Proyect
A timely reminder that the South Korean state could act as brutally as the demonized regime to the North.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
While a bit ponderous and overlong, it is a heartfelt appreciation of ordinary people turned heroes in extraordinary circumstances.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
An effective - and affecting - fact-based political drama set against the bloody backdrop of South Korea's 1980 Guangju Democratic Uprising.
Fort Worth Weekly
Kristian M. Lin
[Jrgen Hinzpeter] is one of the world's greatest actors, and watching him work is more than enough reason to recommend A Taxi Driver.
New York Times
Andy Webster
An affecting what-if tale.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
A Taxi Driver has historical importance in its homeland but also stands up independently as a snapshot of what journalists in some parts of the world face every day.
