Killing Romance is charming, hilarious and sometimes even surprisingly heartfelt

It’s good!! KILLING ROMANCE is a pretty crazy, very stylish and also wonderfully macho-critical musical comedy, whose completely out-of-touch ‘villain’ will not be forgotten any time soon.

Rated: 7/10

Zany and almost cartoonish in nature, Killing Romance fulfils its mission to be a fairy-tale book come to life in spectacular and unforgettable ways.

Rated: 3/5

Bounding Into Comics

As far as musical romantic comedies go that revolve around murder and ostriches, Killing Romance is the craziest and nonsensically brilliant as they come. Killing Romance is so overflowing with preposterousness that it truly has to be seen to be believed.

Rated: 3.75/5

It’s an absolute delight of a film that proves the old adage that it isn’t about the destination, it’s always the journey that matters.

What I Watched Tonight

Lee Won-Suk’s ability to merge heavy themes with chaotic energy and effervescence without losing sight of his vision pays off handsomely here, despite eventually running out of steam by the final third.

Rated: 4/5
