Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Artur Machado A strange and at first glance difficult movie to follow, but it pays off, being visually stunning and very colorful with a captivating story.A girl is admitted to an asylum because she thinks she is a cyborg and refuses to eat because she'll become ill if she does. Inevitably she creates connections with other patients, especially with a young man who gains her affection and he, through his 'visionary madness', does everything to help her overcome her problem.What sets this movie apart is that it is done in such a way that we can literally see and understand the madness of the characters who, in spite of this madness, never cease to be human beings as sensitive or even more than the 'normal ones'. A beautiful, magical, poetic and touching movie like few.

ToucanKing "Park Il-sun: Psycho." "Young-goon: I'm not a psy-cho. I'm a cy- borg."Park Chan-wook delivers a surreal yet sincere exploration of what it is to feel disconnected. The film is centered around a woman(Im Soo- jung) who is admitted to a mental institution as she is of the firm belief that she is a cyborg. Her encounters with other patients are comically dark and hilariously absurd all of which are haunted by a morbid kind of trauma each unique to the respective array of colorful characters. The notion of disconnection is reincorporated very well throughout the duration of the film as machinery is often used as a symbol or idea to implement this.The world which Park Chan-wook is able to execute is eccentric and wonderful, he is even able to develop profound metaphysical thoughts such as what is one's purpose as well as ideals relating to humanity and acceptance. The narrative around remains positioned around the protagonist and her relationships navigating through psyche of your average cyborg.Chan-wook is a director who is not afraid to be inventive and demonstrate a truly unique and innovative style in the construction of his films. This as a result compliments the peculiar story brilliantly. Adding to this strong idiosyncratic tone cinematography by Chung- hoon Chung is a vibrant yet soft collection of colors in the set and costume design. This picture distributes a bizarre set of characters as well as precise and well paced direction from Park Chan-wook.

kluseba "I'm a Cyborg But That's OK" is a touching and romantic comedy movie about the sense of life. The movie is set in a mental institution and introduces us to a lot unique characters: a shy man who is always excusing himself, a man who believes his wife is made of fur, a fat woman who thinks she can fly, a strange couple that sings along to traditional Swiss songs by yodelling and so on. While all these characters seem to have some fun and even though the doctors and nurses are mostly nice with them, there are also a few sad scenes when they feel disillusioned and scared and seem to realize that their lives aren't completely normal. The film should have been a little bit longer and shown us a little bit more details about the fate of these characters in my opinion and even several movies or a television series could have been inspired by this film.Let's focus on the main story though. It's basically the story of Young- Goon, a young and shy woman who refuses to eat and is looking for a sense in her life. She grew up with her schizophrenic grandmother who believed she was a mouse and her parents never really took care of her. One day, her grandmother was forced to go to a mental institution but obviously not the same as Young-Goon's. The schizoid young woman has never seen her grandmother again. She misses her a lot and wants to bring her dentures she forgot at home when she was taken away by the staff of the mental institution. Since then, Young-Goon also desires to avenge her grandmother and kill all staff members of all mental institutions. Young-Goon believes she is a cyborg that needs to be recharged to gain enough power to realize her plans which is dangerous for people around her and especially for herself.In the mental institution, she meets Il-Soon who is hospitalized for kleptomania stemming from schizophrenia. The anti-social thief is a very emotional and smart person who immediately falls in love with the mysterious Young-Goon. When she is about to die by refusing to eat, he tries to protect her from herself and the staff. When he learns that she believes she is a cyborg, he develops a plan to make her eat by developing a fictional machine that converts food into electrical energy. But the young man soon has to develop further plans to protect the love of her life when she starts to believe that she is in fact a nuke bomb that requires a bolt of lightning to detonate and bring the end to the world.While the story lacks direction and feels fluffy at times, this fact isn't important as the movie is about something completely different. It wants to show us that even people in a mental hospital can be very and sometimes even more human than normal people and feel sorrow, love and hate very intensively. The way the two outsiders of the group come closer to each other is far beyond physical love. Her love story begins very slowly and at the beginning, the young woman doesn't really care about or even realize what the young man feels for her. He slowly wins her heart by each step he takes and by doing so he doesn't only heal himself in a certain way and becomes more open-minded, responsible and social than ever before but he also saves the life of the woman he desires and gives a new sense to her sad life.This movie is really touching and convinces with a strong and credible acting. The movie though doesn't only focus on the drama elements or the romantic story with profound dialogues but it also includes several moments of intelligent humour and a few action filled over-the-top scenes that break with the slow pace of the movie and feel very original and refreshing. The movie surely has some lengths and I think the film should have spend some more time on the supporting characters instead of the main story that only truly develops in the last third of the movie. On the other side, this movie is very intelligent from an emotional and human point of view and has a beautiful philosophy telling us that each day of our life is unique and that something very positive could happen any day that gives your life a new sense or unknown joys. This is a movie that any really sad or suicidal person should watch because it says more than a thousand words could do. Director Park Chan-Wook who is known for completely different movies like "Oldboy" created a truly courageous and unexpected gem that may one day be hailed as a classic. It's not a movie for anybody. At first try, I didn't adore the movie but I didn't stop thinking about and rediscovering it to get access to its pure and unique beauty. Patient and open-minded viewers should get rewarded by watching this film. Those who are looking for quick entertainment, a classic love story or a hilarious movie should change their minds before watching this.

Slsr Saibogujiman kwenchana is just not OK, it's really good movie, though it's not like there is much happening during film, movie basically tells us tale of woman who has mental illness and thinks that she's cyborg, in mental home there's man who fells for her and helps her with her problem. Though there might not be much happening in movie this is just one of those movies that are really nice to watch. I tend to often get a bit bored or annoyed when watching films and those things didn't happen here. I also liked setting, mental illness seems to make always interesting story, if I'd write movie I might go with that too. Directing, production and acting are all solid here from what I understand of them. I liked Especially woman in main role, she did such a nice job here :).So is there something that could have been done even better? I really can't come up any major problems that would be found here. One might argue that there should be some cool climax in this movie, but I thought it was good in a way it was, even the ending was done so nicely that wouldn't really add anything to there either. Still in the end maybe that cool climax just might have made this one 10/10 movie, now it's "only" worth of 9/10.
