Video Review – Concrete Utopia is a real contender for Best International Feature Film

November 7, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno reviews Concrete Utopia…

For decades, South Korea has produced some of the most iconic films of the modern era. But after Parasite, it seemed like the film industry had peaked in popularity and quality.

Now, Concrete Utopia is here to shake that notion and become one of the year’s best films. With a genre-less approach, a sharp script, and some powerful acting, you can’t help but be mesmerized by the madness unfolding. This is easily one of those films that hits you hard and buries itself into your soul.

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

Survivors of an earthquake shack up at Imperial Palace Apartments in Seoul. Yeong-tak (Lee Byung-hun) leads them with help from Min-seong (Park Seo-joon), a public servant, and his nurse wife Myeong-hwa (Park Bo-young).

Concrete Utopia is directed by Um Tae-hwa. The film stars Lee Byung-hun, Park Seo-joon, Park Bo-young, Kim Sun-young, Park Ji-hu, and Kim Do-yoon.

Concrete Utopia will open in New York and Los Angeles exclusively in theaters on December 8th and expand nationwide starting December 15th.
