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.
