Justin Chang The New Yorker 1d
A riotous mashup of thrillingly staged and daringly attenuated chase scenes, mordant small-town comedy, and delightfully craptacular C.G.I. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) May 20
2/5
Only 20 minutes short of three hours, it’s a monster-centred action flick from the South Korean director Na Hong-jin that takes a swerve halfway through into something different but still feels relentless and repetitive. Go to Full Review John Bleasdale Sight & Sound May 20
There is nary a moment of boredom and its numerous peaks of exhilarating action are often undercut by a laugh-out-loud payoff. Brilliantly crafted and beautifully shot, we can only hope this wild film gets the follow up it so richly deserves. Go to Full Review Lou Cai ScreenAnarchy 1d
With most of the narrative devoted to action, the unexpectedly hilarious dialogue scenes become the film’s highlights. ... Their humour adds welcome variation and gives the audience room to breathe within an otherwise relentless thriller. Go to Full Review Ben Rolph Discussing Film 2d
3.5/5
Hope is an untamed beast of a sci-fi monster epic. It’s extremely wild and bizarre. But writer-director Na Hong-jin knows it and doesn’t care. If you're willing to meet it on its level, you will find it highly entertaining and totally unpredictable. Go to Full Review Alex Billington FirstShowing.net 4d
7/10
That said, all of Hope is a unique creation regardless of the criticisms, and it's something to admire anyway. Even with all of its flaws and confusing choices and weird mishaps – this movie rocks. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
