- Excerpt: The Handmaiden is a sexy, seductive “thriller” that attempts to play the multiple-perceptions game, but misses on being a masterclass because of its daunting length.

- Excerpt: The Handmaiden will prove anything but [straightforward] as its two-and-a-half hour runtime allows its second and third act to unfold with as much patience and complexity as the first. The paralleling of timelines once Act Two reaches the starting point of Act One is impeccable, gaps we never even knew were there are effortlessly filled with pertinent information.
