No Other Choice Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
I thought it was genuinely remarkable.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
No other living filmmaker could so elegantly dance the line between bleak, absurd, devastating and slapstick like he does in his 10th feature film and latest masterpiece.
Washington Post
Ty Burr
There are winners in "No Other Choice," but as Park makes clear in the film's quietly devastating final images, they've won at a cost that hollows the soul. No translation necessary.
Los Angeles Times
Tim Grierson
For all its dark comedy, the movie is most cutting when it moves away from the big set pieces and, instead, examines the small ways that employees lose their humanity to a capitalist system that's out to destroy them.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
The satirical screenplay, by Park, Lee Kyoung Mi, Jahye Lee, and Canadian filmmaker Don McKellar, is full of pitch black comedy and unsubtle jabs at toxic masculinity.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Too many Americans can relate to the crippling gut-punch of a job loss, with the ripple effects that threaten the bonds of family and shatter their social position. No Other Choice pushes the trauma one step further.
Seattle Times
Chase Hutchinson
It's a macabre, mirthful fable that, while not Park's best (that's still "The Handmaiden"), is delicately attuned to how people who otherwise believe themselves to be good can become forces of cruelty.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Amy Nicholson
I couldn't get a grasp on the tone that it wants to have. There's scenes that are mixing tension, pathos, and slapstick all at once, and I felt like it kind of watered them all down instead of making me feel like I was gripped by it.
Reverse Shot
Adam Nayman
Whatever else one can say about No Other Choice, it is a formidable and frequently gobsmacking exercise in craft.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
The movie's increasingly convoluted plot only detracts from the story's crushing emotional potential.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
No Other Choice is a brutal story for brutal times, one steeped in corrosive humor and delivered with Park's customary flair.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
Those who dread being knocked over the head with a political message can rest easy; it's an amusing caper, not a stern lecture.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Somehow he makes the casual act of a drinking a boilermaker one of the most intoxicating and thrilling images of 2025. What an extraordinary treasure Park Chan-wook is.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
This is a director capable of conjuring menacing brutality with nothing but a hallway and hammer. And in "No Other Choice," he remains at the peak of his powers.
Austin Chronicle
James Scott
There's real magic in every paired-off scene where two characters confront each other - creating wonderful clashes of physical human contact that challenge the disassociation insisted on by the system they're all being run through.
The Reveal
Keith Phipps
It's a film that could have been tailor-made for 2025 and, even more chillingly, for seemingly every year in the foreseeable future.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's the sort of parting joke that makes the chuckles catch in your throat. Yet it's also the kind of grace note of a kicker that reminds you how slyly Director Park and his lead actor have been letting this story unfold.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
Lee throws himself into all of it with a sad-sack slapstick energy that never undercuts -- and, remarkably, even enhances -- the psychological acuity of his acting.
The Travers Take
Peter Travers
As ever with Park Chan-wook, there are tasty bits of bright and bleak to noodle on in this stinging satire of AI and capitalism, but with a rigorous fix on the growing dehumanization infecting our world. One of the year's best.
Wall Street Journal
Zachary Barnes
The film is a zany, all-out crowd-pleaser from Mr. Park, who exhibits a rare genius with the camera throughout, devising breathtaking shots, zooms and transitions, his cockeyed visual wizardry perfectly matched to the outlandishness of the plot.
