Maybe it's a little silly, but all superhero films are. Yeon is just the rare breed of director who knows how to turn that kind of genre stamp to his advantage. Go to Full Review

Psychokinesis doesn't leave you with much more than a bittersweet feeling about it all, but it's an appropriately different takeaway from such a refreshingly different superhero movie. Go to Full Review

While Psychokinesis isn't as outstanding as Train to Busan, it's still worth examining as a commentary on Korean society. Go to Full Review

In its innocent way, it's highly stimulating within the work of a director determined not to be pigeonholed. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The approach is very similar to any Hollywood super-hero movie... but much better. Go to Full Review

Joel 08/08/2023 Me gustó mucho, entretenida, los efectos me sorprendieron mucho, la fotografía es muy atractiva, los actores impecables, la actuación es muy buena. La historia se desarrolla de una manera muy agradable, a veces es un poco lenta pero a los que nos gusta el cine sabemos que a veces es parte del desarrollo de una película. Siempre es emocionante. Es cierto que a veces es muy tonto pero creo que es toque de algunas películas surcoreanas. See more Darius D 01/18/2023 Fun movie. Much better than most American movies these days. See more torin f 07/07/2021 Another brilliantly-styled character-driven feature from director Yeon Sang-ho. Don't let a slightly tepid ending deter you from enjoying this funny and heartfelt film. See more 09/12/2020 Again Netflix proves that they just dont care if for the quality of the script as long as the premise is interesting. Characters make so many dumb decisions that you just cant carw abour what happens next. Predictable and boring I just watched this because of Yeon San-Ho See more georgan g 09/02/2020 The premise is good and special effects interesting. Too long, too slow, too silly at times. See more max t 08/29/2020 this was an unexpected pleasure… much better than the 59% audience reviews led me to expect. yes, kind of sappy at points. yes, kind of dumb in others. but… overall well done and time well spent.
