50/50 Rewind Encore Screening

“The Handmaiden is just pure cinema, a dizzying, disturbing fable of love and betrayal that piles on luxurious imagery, while never losing track of its story's human core.” - David Sims, Atlantic

“145 minutes of clever, erotic entertainment.” - Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
