3/5
It's mental but charming, so that's OK. Go to Full Review
Derek Elley Variety 03/26/2008
Witty, playful, romantic, tragic, Park Chan-wook's I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK is a whole chocolate box of emotions in a highly decorative but absolutely characteristic wrapping. Go to Full Review
Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/05/2023
3.5/4
Given the unconventional, uncharacteristic result when compared to Park’s other films, I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK proves his style is all his own, Go to Full Review
Mattie Lucas From the Front Row 07/06/2019
4/4
American film could use more of this kind of free wheeling, experimental energy, because every frame of it seems gloriously vibrant and alive. Go to Full Review

...strikes a balance between blithely endorsing the delusions of its mentally ill characters and comically demonizing them. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 10/14/2011
It's almost as if the peculiar I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK was lurking beneath the surface of his psyche and needed to come out before Park could continue down his chosen path. It's not exactly brilliant or hilarious, but at least it's honest. Go to Full Review

Dani G Mar 18 Innovative and original, there's no doubt. A little change of style with this lighthearted kind of story, considering the director's previous work. See more S. C 10/03/2023 Unique, creative and heartwarming. The performances are absolutely fantastic in this simpler yet funny written romantic comedy with great cinematography, beautiful sets and a lovely score. Despite being set in a depressing context the movie manages to be colorful, vibrant and upbeat. It may leave you wanting more of the directors comedic and love oriented vision in his future feature films. See more arjun p 12/25/2021 This is a wild swing of a movie premise that is definitely unique and charming but isn't as overly engaging. The first half didn't provide the feeling of investment in the characters. Instead, there is a lot of laying the groundwork for the setting, environment, and perspective of this film, but this could have been achieved in a much shorter time. The second half, when things start to slow down, is where the narrative begins to click. The story and its characters become more open and heartwarming and this is where the overall package improves but it's over before you know it. While it may not be a home run, the playful lightweight melodramatic romantic drama is not something you've likely ever seen before and the film has some fun scenes to keep you till the end. See more eden s 11/20/2019 Very different from Chan-wook Parks other movies like the Revenge trioligy. Nonetheless a very captivating, unconventional approach to a romantic comedy with a twist. See more 07/18/2019 Love this movie! It's an oddball mix of Benny & Joon meets Pulp Fiction. See more nefasto r @Nefasto 10/04/2018 A colorful love story, a quirky semi-fairy tale and much more than that to be honest. Because under the strangeness and the craziness we find familiar feeling, complicate problems and gorgeous solutions for those problems. A different view: and that I always appreciate.
