Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Delicate and subtle. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A lyrical, sporadically violent tale of love on the run that gradually turns into something spooky, poetic and disarmingly gentle. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: For the most part they achieve a delicate balancing act, mixing near-silent comedy with an old-fashioned sense of whimsy. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: For all its pretense, 3-Iron is never pretentious and is so beautiful to look at. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: A movie meant to be taken on faith more than anything else. The more you can grant it, the greater the reward. Read more
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic: What is so engaging about the film is the way its director, Ki-duk Kim, manages to keep our interest intensely focused on the couple. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: 3-Iron is a romance of tenderness and increasingly poignant silence. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Alternately witty, caustic, tender and endlessly imaginative and unpredictable, this latest film from one of Korea's most idiosyncratic and prolific directors is as confident as its resourceful hero, Tae-suk. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Here is where things get murky, intriguingly so. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It takes talent to entice an audience without any dialogue. In the case of South Korea's Kim Ki-Duk, he's not just good at silence; his oddball artistry depends on it. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: A hypnotic, almost wordless love story about transience physical and spiritual. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: As repellent and repellently opportunistic a piece of work as the various shock-horror provocations that helped to launch [Ki-Duk's] worrisome career. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Artful and engrossing, but the hero's insolent silences get to be a pain. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Raises questions that are more frustrating than provocative. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Kim Ki-duk's touching and improbable love story is pleasingly mysterious without being too difficult and a little gimmicky but not annoyingly so. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: An uncanny spiritual exploration of the unlikeliest of great loves. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: This enigmatic and in some ways maddening motion picture has the power to haunt every viewer it reaches. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: What is meant to be profoundly puzzling can start to seem just theatrically silly. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Moves from a strangely spiritual reality to a really strange spirituality -- and leaves its best parts behind. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: The change in tone, from swiftly destabilizing drama to outright fantasy, feels less like Kim provocatively switching gears, and more like he's painted himself into a corner. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: It's actually quite satisfying, in a weird, magical-realism sort of way that manages to disturb and confound as much as it appeases the romantic. Read more
Philip Kennicott, Washington Post: Kim works with the barest of materials but returns the viewer's attention to the pure visual pleasure of filmmaking. Read more
