I'm not quite sure if it amounts to anything much. But this psychosexual/American gothic tale is bathed in sumptuous visuals, sonic pleasures, and a heightened style that is distinctively Park Chan-wook. The three leads are very effective, lending weight to an otherwise simple but adequate plot with its emphasis on tense mood and atmosphere to tell the story. Some say this is style over substance. But I say it's one of those rare cases when style is the substance.

"Stoker" is essentially a re-imagining of Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt" that takes full advantage of the fact it isn't being made in Code-era Hollywood. The script is good but not great and really doesn't come together as well as one would hope in the final act, but there is still a lot to love here. Wasikowska, Goode and Kidman are all excellent in their respective roles, but it is Park's direction that really stands out here. The use of sound and editing are particularly wonderful.

Stylish with a capital S. Park Chan-wook's film language is fantastic. He's in complete command of the medium. While it truly is a superior achievement in the technical categories, I doubt that this is the type of film which will receive much, if any, attention from the Academy. But it ought to. I liked the performances a lot as well.

At its core this plays out fairly conventionally, and Kidman's breathy performance is a bit irritating, but the photography, sound and editing are all very impressive and evocative. Of the six movies I've seen by Park, this is the best: the script may have been imperfect, but it still seems that it may have been beneficial for him to have someone else's screenplay to work from. The film is about achieving independence, brutally: imagine if, instead of calling her India, they called her Pakistan.

Park uses all kinds of tricks he could think of to depict both a morbid family drama and a creation of serial killer by another serial killer/intruder/uncle this recently turned 18 girl didn't know existed. The filmmaker is so worried to make every scene count that Stoker looks like a collection of showy but often empty frames.

Kind of like live-action Edward Gorey. Yes, it's flawed, but it's beautifully shot, uses some really fresh cinematic techniques, and combines elements of Hitchcock, Malick, and Tarantino (I feel weird even saying those three names in the same breath). The last act disappoints and perhaps keeps it from being something more significant.

Fantastic Hitchcock shrine (Uncle Charlies, motels, phone booths, & notable shower scenes; splashes of Night of the Hunter, too) regarding female sexual awakening as a lurid explosion. The dialectical dyad of Uncle & young Charlie in Shadow of a Doubt is transformed here into a triad; whereas the heroine in Shadow of a Doubt must deny a hard-earned truth lest the whole social order come crumbling down, here she embraces Charlie's methods to escape, brutally, from a life of resentful domesticity.

Park makes something weird and beautiful and compelling out of a pretty silly script. I mean, I think I must have thought "holy shit this is ridiculous" and "holy shit this is amazing" in about equal measure. Though the concept of a man who kills with belts and all the scenes involving high school boys threatened to tip the scales in the wrong direction, I was still very much in his pocket by the end. And thank god he still knows how to make movies of a reasonable length.

A masterpiece in filmmaking. Everything comes together perfectly in this beautifully shot, well paced, psychological thriller. Excellent use of sound, imagery, transitions... and a plot that is interesting and keeps you guessing until the end. All of the actors were well cast and performed wonderfully. I watched an interview with Mia Wasikowska and couldn't believe it was the same person. This was Chan-wook Park's first English language film and I look forward to more of his work.

It's stylish and at times abstract, and tries to say much more with atmosphere and tone than with words. I like the India character a lot, I like the three-plus-person world that most of the movie portrays, it's a very slow build which I think is done quite well. Intense sexual tension is built throughout, with borderline-spectacular direction, symbolism and artistic vision. Some could write it off as pretentious or predictable; I consider it a valentine to art lovers. Enjoy it; I know I did!

Oooooooh, this was such a fucking treat. Park has directed the second best film of 2013 so far with Stoker, a stylistically remarkable psychological horror film. The tone created and resulting atmosphere were so incredibly engaging: I found myself amazed at something new, whether it was some camera or lighting trick, a performance, or score piece, in every new scene. A definite must-watch, this one of two Park masterpieces I have seen, will be watched and watched again.

So you have Park Chan-wook doing his first English-language movie by essentially doing a vampire movie without vampires - it's not based on Dracula, but more on the sort of dream you might have after reading "Dracula" in a scary old house you're not at home in, and then trying to retell it through a close-up lens. Gothic as fuck, and Wasikowska and Kidman are born to play gothic madwomen in flowing dresses stained with dirt and some unspecified red liquid.

Obviously indebted to Shadow of a Doubt, but it's so brazen a homage (the "mystery" at the film's center practically reduced to an afterthought) and such a stylish take on the material that it feels distinct all the same. The highlight of the film is undoubtedly the editing, which does a fantastic job of coupling recurring motifs and keeping things tense.

This is a dirty film. Not visually speaking; it is such a beautifully shot and constructed film, with such brilliant editing and ingenious transitions that it has cemented Park Chan-wook as maybe my favourite active visual director. But thematically, the tying of violence and sexual pleasure together as an undercurrent of the cloistered seclusion in which the characters live, is grimy and unsettling. There's an incredible tension throughout the whole picture that still hasn't quite left me.

People can delude themselves into thinking this is a good film all they want, but the fact of the matter is that the story and characters are awful. There's some masterful stuff going on (not by the actors, though) and it looks great throughout, but at its core, it's empty, which is a damn shame considering Park's back catalogue.

Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode's acting definitely leave you speechless. All three characters float between innocence and guilts, between right and wrong, between good and evil. Park Chan-wook directed the film in such a way that gives you the feeling of a film-noir with a Hitchcock touch. The sounds, the camera plays, the flashbacks, all of them add to the unique atmosphere. I think this is one of 2013's top films.

Not as good as I was hoping for Chan-Wook Park's first English/American movie but maybe this was just a stumbling block. Matthew Goode is fantastic as Stoker. There's a well-crafted "something is not right" tension over the entire movie. Considering Park seemed to be improving as he honed his craft I hope this is a minor setback because despite the production and atmopshere this movie was moderately flat.

A modern day Hitchcock film done by the excellent Chan-wook Park. I loved how this film looked and the transitions between some scenes were gorgeous like when it switched from brushing Nicole Kidman's hair to an empty field where Mia Wasikowska was hunting. This film is dark and gritty and reminds me of the movie Psycho quite a bit. Matthew Goode makes Norman Bates look almost normal in this awesome thriller. I almost want to watch it again, it had me on pins and needles for a few scenes.

I always appreciate movies wherein the stylish presentation turns what could have been a generic bore of a film into something special. The script, while not horrible, is borderline generic. But Park took it, added a visual spark, great editing, and perfect sound design, and came out with a film that appeals to me on a much different level than if this had been a boilerplate thriller. Simply put, the craft that went into this turned it into a gorgeous, intriguing movie.

A very entertaining perversion of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. Park consistently makes gorgeous looking movies and Stoker is no exception. Not to spoil, but during a scene that couples masturbation with death, an old lady at my screening said to her husband "Oh my goodness, we must leave immediately", so they both got up and walked out. I laughed irl. PS: Park remains tongue in cheek with Stoker, for better or worse. I think it's for the better.

Seen: 2. A stylized, technical marvel of a movie. A one of a kind for sure, sort of a coming of age gothic thriller. But it was so damn cold and unnatural at times, with violent sexuality running rampant. The school and bullying scenes were cliched, toxic and off-putting. I disliked the movie overall the first time, but seeing Park's The Handmaiden put it back on my radar, and the second viewing was more enjoyable. But it is still not a movie that I can recommend overall.

Stoker is a difficult film for me to appreciate. Throughout its runtime, the film dances between a pretentious expression of character and cinematography, and an intriguing (if not mildly original) coming-of-age story. The beginning of the film very much falls into the former category. Some of the shots are marvellous, but the editing makes them somewhat frustrating. Goode and Wasikowska are good, with an interesting dynamic. Kidman’s character was written with an excessive quality.

Not Park Chan-wook's best by any means, but I'm super into the hyper-stylized feel.

Mysterious characters, dreamy photography, sudden violence, belts and pencil sharpeners- these are Chan-Wook Park's tools to create a modern Hitchcockian sense of dread. Wonderfully done.

An intriguing one. The visuals are certainly what set this film apart from anything else. The colour palette is sumptuous - full of weird greens, oranges and blacks that you don't often see on screen. The camerawork is inventive and the music quite good - particularly that divine piano duet scene. Although the actors do a good job of pretending to be in a Tim Burton film, narratively there isn't that much depth, a disappointment given the creepy gothic atmosphere. A feast for the eyes at least.

Gorgeous visuals, great sound and I liked Wasikowska in it. The story is kind of a mess though, and everything about the "cool school kids" was painfully stupid

Despite touching upon themes of corruption and maturity in sexual ways, and having an eerie atmosphere and imagery, "Stoker" never quite escalates to a high enough level to truly shock (similarly to its spiritual inspiration, "Lolita").

Stoker pretends to be extremely subtle and clever. While it's pretty good and well supported by amazing actors, you can actually see all the strings. Great cinematography, fantastic soundtrack, amazing scenes like the duet make it a compelling and sometimes disturbing movie; however, you can always feel the effort to make it great, which could have happened if only the direction had more faith in the viewer.

Less repulsive and tabù-breaker than it wanna be. Well-crafted but, except maybe the last scene, it has left me completely cold. And it's not a good thing for a suspense/thriller/horror/whatever movie.

Stoker is fresh by its manner of story telling and imagery. However, its crumpled ending puts a huge question sign of what was actually the main idea?

Stoker is a visual orgasm, but the script is just not that great. It feels pretentious at times and it's extremely bizarre. A huge mix of good and bad.

I really think Park Chan-Wook is a talented film maker, Stoker may not be for everyone, but his strange, odd characters never lack ambition. Good acting. Some probably wont like the ending, but I think it's a good movie.

Annoying camera movements, Kidman, insisting to be weird (ridiculous faces),... makes it less enjoyable than it could be!

Stoker takes the bare bones of Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt and adds a good deal more sex, violence and unpleasantness. It suffers from the same lack of suspense as its inspiration though, and Park's sumptuous visual style isn't sufficient to paper over the uninspired narrative and average performances.
