Descent into madness

Bluebeard was a welcomed surprise among other recent South Korean thrillers. While movies of this genre tend to be more frantic and action-packed, Bluebeard takes an U-turn from this and is quite a slow burner, focusing more on its plot and on the psychological aspects of its protagonist.Although it has its problems, like the sudden cuts and confusing timelines, it does a pretty decent job all-around, delivering an entangling and disturbing narrative that leaves you questioning your own reality.

Interesting, compelling yet thought provoking

Firstly I'd have to say if you like the trailer you will get something completely different. I watched this film thinking it was going to be something a little like the Hannibal series with a some cannibalism and quite a bit of blood and gore with a touch of Hannibal's class, I was dead wrong. There are twists in this film where they show you one thing and then confuse you by showing you what really happened a bit later on, this goes on throughout the movie almost right up to the end. By thought provoking I mean even 15 minutes before the ending I was still quite confused. The main drawback of Bluebeard is that it's almost 2 hours long with confusing twists but I stuck to my guns and really wanted to see the ending. I'd give Bluebeard a 6.5 but I lent towards the 7 because it has quality you'd maybe see in a film once a year. I would have given it a solid 8 out of 10 if it was half an hour shorter and wasn't as confusing as they made it. The ending is good I must say, if you have a couple hours of spare time it's worth the watch. I'll probably watch Bluebeard again in a few years, would be interesting what I think of it the second time around after seeing the "true" ending.
