The irrepressible tone of mordant giggliness this movie hits so often is entirely its own, keeping the movie buoyant throughout its over two-hour running time.

Rated: 3/4

David Ehrlich

IndieWire

Just droll, twisty, and stylish enough to forgive this 136-minute film for using a lot more runway than it needs to be airborne, "Good News" is a veritable caricature of middle-management.

Rated: C+

Variety

Energetic and astutely paced as it is, this tale simply goes on longer than maximum viewer involvement can withstand, its buoyancy eventually deflating somewhat. Still, too much of a good thing is better than none.

Following suit with the slow Marvelization of the South Korean [film] industry, every 10 minutes requires a joke, which only functions to numb the thriller at Good News' core.

There is a clear and well-executed vision in "Good News," despite its surface-level critique.

Rated: 3/5

Funny and unpredictable, Good News has a total blast messing with reality. Which goes for both the facts of actual history and its in-film story’s consistent, intriguing unreliability.

My only complaint is that it is too long. Regardless, it’s a good laugh and a nice movie to watch. Great cinematography though. And yes, the ending is indeed a good news.
