Oldboy should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Oldboy?
Honestly, Oldboy would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in Oldboy is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Oldboy was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Oldboy is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Oldboy performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
