ronjaFeb 12, 2015All I know is that I'm scared and I'm confused. Help me, It's dark down here.
SilentDawnPart of Hoop-Tober “I’ll always be with you.” In close-up, a man washes his hands carefully and repeatedly. His hands do not appear dirty. He has not, so far as we can tell, just used the toilet, nor is he preparing to eat or to engage in some practice necessitating…

vague spoiler warning i do not think the scene where all three characters get their periods at once is a throwaway. curiously, it's one of the bloodier moments of the film: the specks of blood on the bed are given the same weight as the tears on a nightgown when an…
kaileyMar 16, 2016"Do you know what's really scary? You want to forget something. Totally wipe it off your mind. But you never can." 1. Watching this before bed was a mistake. 2. I THINK I know what happened in this film, but I need to see it again to be sure. 3. This film is amazing on…

To all involved in the making of this film: You're all a bunch of heartless bastards. Sincerely, Dirk's insomnia

[YLoveEverything]Mar 9, 2021I love ghost stories that don’t rely on jumpscares but solely utilize atmosphere and a more subtle approach that somehow always ends up being more terrifying. I love when elements of trauma or mental illness are brought in too. Tricks of the mind are the most frightening…

- Brogan likedA Tale of Two Sisters
I was so confused and I watched it with no subtitles so I didn’t have a clue what was being said. But it was eerie at times and really made you think of what’s happening next. There’s also stuff you’d never expect. Overall good film. 6/10 ⭐️
CvptvinHowdy likedA Tale of Two SistersI thought I pinpointed what was happening, then more twists were thrown at me, and now I'm all confused. I liked the unsettling atmosphere this provides, and the first scare scene in the bedroom was definitely the creepiest for me.
Samuele Angelillo likedA Tale of Two SistersMolto carino, è un film visto attraverso una malattia mentale quindi la trama bisogna caplirla per conto proprio peroʻ a livello di fotografia è spettacolare e gli attori sono tutti bravini
- Natalia Marsola likedA Tale of Two Sisters
It’s a confusing plot, if it was less confusing I think I’d have liked it even more, but it’s still great. I don’t usually like slow movies but this one kept me engaged the whole time.
BugToad is "meh" onA Tale of Two SistersThings were a little too disjointed for my taste. I followed the overall plot, but certain things were dwelled on too much and others weren't fleshed out enough.
soup lovedA Tale of Two SistersSO FREAKING GOOD. I saw Goodnight Mommy years ago and can say it is a worse movie that ripped off the bones of this one. This was amazing
- Jena likedA Tale of Two Sisters
i feel like so much happened with minimal explanation.. it was still a good film though. pretty thought provoking and even kinda sad
Orlando Ramone likedA Tale of Two SistersA slow burning art house horror movie. If you don’t like A24 horror movies, you definitely won’t like this one.
Taylor Winters lovedA Tale of Two SistersAnother great foreign horror movie. There’s an American remake but watch this one.

Metacritic
It manages to suspend disbelief without over-taxing the viewer's patience, and boasts at least one terrific performance, by actress Yeom Jeong-ah as a scary stepmom.
Derek Elley
Variety
Awkward storytelling and spotty exposition reduce it to a string of rude shocks--not even the eventual denouement provides a lucid enough account of where this is all coming from.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Either way, Kim's rather clumsily acted film remains monstrously effective ookiness, with crepuscular cinematography (by the Hollywood-destined Kim Byeong-il) that suggests a nightmare endured from inside a suffocating velvet pillowcase.
