The Handmaiden Reviews

i’ve watched it multiple times and let’s say it’s not for the plot (i’m joking) (kind of)

I will never be able to listen to Jingle Bells the same again.

- One of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen
- Amazing lesbian and feminist rep
- Women ❤️
- Beautifully shot
- I typically have a hard time sitting through long films, but I was invested the whole time

I think this is the best lesbian movie that exists.

Y’all have been warned, don’t watch this. This movie is only for perverted men. No emotional connection just extreme graphic sex.

Nah a waste of time

Great overall plot with decent writing, but the concept of replaying the same scenes after every twist, just from another character’s perspective, for 80% of the movie wasn't the best approach.
I watched the extended cut so that might have contributed to the boredom too. 3/5

SOOO male gaze centered 😭 im gonna be honest it was a little hard to follow the plot for awhile and also the ending is so problematic in (im assuming) 1930s~40s, but i give it a like instead of meh because women are hot 😍😍😍🧡

I love women

I think this has to be one of my all time favorite movies. The symbolism, artistry, acting, plot, and so much more beautiful things had me captivated every second!

Lesbians 💛

Oh my

men made this film and you can tell, felt so fetishy and weird. so many better lesbian/queer films that you could watch.

Yesss fuck man

That sex scene was so intense I couldn't imagine someone walking in during that and having to explain lol. Watching this was similar to when I watched "Portrait of a Lady on Fire." I wasn't too crazy on the plot and twists even though it's great, but it's every other aspect of the film that's so amazing, especially the cinematography.

stay away from this movie

liked the plot twist but still too gay for me

Made me sick.

you can immediately understand that the director is male 🫤

I was really surprised by the plot twist, because I didn't know what this movie
was about:) and I liked the slow narration
