"Woe are the fools who define themselves by physical appearance." - Nick Schager

I kept waiting for this to turn into a comedy, but sadly it never did. Slightly ridiculous premise, but it's definitely toying with some interesting ideas.

interesting story that could have been written much better... Rather interesting and ambiguous however weak end

As usual, Kim plays with enticing and interesting themes in a clumsy manner. I'm glad I stuck around for the finish.

I really loved the idea and the direction of Kim Ki-duk, but some aspects about the script (too artificial conversations) and the actors (that overact those artificial conversations) put me out of the story.

What is getting old? What is getting used to see your loved one? What is love? How long it lasts? These are questions Ki-duk Kim sets in the air with this movie. Time is ticking. People loves and be in loved. Though the end of the movie is classical, it's also the weakest link of the film. Cycle of love? This movie puts you to think, but the script was not ready for the movie. A couple more of rewritings and it would be much more better.

I've been underwhelmed by Ki-duk Kim so far, and the trend continues. Still, this is the most interesting work I've seen from him yet, even though it seems to be held in rather low regard. Part The Face of Another, part Vertigo, it's about romantic obsession and facial identity. The ambiguous ending thankfully doesn't seem to be merely an easy way out of the story, but a way of providing several intriguing possibilities. I have to say that it didn't blow me away, but I was pretty into it.

Explores a lot of interesting subjects in a typical Kim Ki Duk sort of way. Quality has diminished slightly from past works. Still great, however.

I was very disappointed by this movie. It's the weakest Kim Ki-Duk film that I've seen, and I expected much more considering some of the amazing stuff he's done in recent years.

I've come to the conclusion that the less story driven a Ki-duk film is the better it is. With this said, Time is a major let down after a run of the best films in modern cinema.
