Nicolas Rapold Sight & Sound No Other Choice already looks to match the acclaim of Decision to Leave, with the bonus of a readily applicable story about homo economicus running amok. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies That the handsome but often pathetic Man-su is such a compelling character is a credit to both Director Park and the wonderful Lee Byung-hun, whose performance is a masterclass in the tension between comedy and tragedy. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Barber BBC.com No Other Choice Isn't just Park's funniest film, but his most humane, too – and that's quite something for a comedy as violent as this one. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2025 Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics Chan-wook effortlessly melds shocking violence with black humor while examining what masculinity is to a man without work. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Rachel Ho Exclaim! Park's films have all found a degree of humour in even the darkest of times, but none more so than 'No Other Choice.' Rated: 9/10 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Hoai-Tran Bui Inverse Park has constructed a light and zany farce (and his funniest movie in over two decades) about how easy it is for the haves to lose everything, and the desperate lengths they will go to in order to maintain their charmed lives.
