Un croisement des thèmes de Battle Royal et de Saw, brillamment développé dans un passage collectif de huit heures à travers l'enfer. Sous une forme colorée et attrayante, avec des décors et des costumes captivants, des personnages solidement construits aux comportements étudiés de manière sociologique, des jeux inventifs avec plus d'une surprise astucieuse et une dose notoire de sang et de brutalité. Dong-hyeok Hwang combine audacieusement toutes sortes de genres et de tendances de la pop-culture dans ce film commercial grand public qui remporte un franc succès. L'Épisode 6 est un véritable coup émotionnel auquel je ne m'attendais vraiment pas. La seule faiblesse en termes de réalisme des comportements des personnages arrive dans le dernier épisode. Celui-ci est également clos avec une fin prétendument surprenante, qui contredit certains événements précédents, et qui semble tirée du néant.

Schéma plaisant, visuels minimalistes accrocheurs et une longueur en adéquation avec la richesse de l'histoire à raconter. Je critiquerais peut-être la trop grande prévisibilité du sort de certains personnages et le rebondissement insensé du dernier épisode, dont je me serais bien passé. Sinon, la Corée du Sud nous envoie du lourd !

As I write this, Squid Game is Netflix’s most successful show of all time, and honestly, I'm not surprised. Audiences are drawn to violence — the more intense, the better. And this show definitely pushes those limits in some episodes. But what makes it stand out are the fantastic characters, especially the main one, who's such a lovable fool that you can't help but wonder what will happen to him. From a filmmaking perspective, it's also top-notch, with stunning shots and chilling moments, all backed by a great soundtrack. Squid Game isn’t just a well-executed concept that hooks you in; it also mixes in some dark, absurd humor that works surprisingly well with the show’s intense themes. Overall, it’s a brilliant series that fully deserves the attention it’s getting right now.

Yeah, a pretty cool Korean take on Battle Royale, Hunger Games, Saw, Cube, and Escape Room that goes out of its way to attempt some relatively adult social insight. But in spite of how serious it wants to look at times, the core of the whole thing is completely banal, and the execution of the action is quite logically haphazard in the details. That is fine with stuff like Escape Room (it's basically identical in concept), which is not trying to be anything other than a fun B-movie, but Squid Game wants to be more like Parasite and I found that quite distracting at times. And the awful line with VIPs is a chapter on its own, terribly cringe. In its strongest moments it’s excellent (the sixth episode in particular is amazing, though actually quite predictable from the beginning), but lame in its weakest. Either way, compared to last year’s Alice in Borderland, it’s light years ahead.

Hollywood is done, Korea dulez!! The combination of Netflix and South Korea is the best thing anyone has ever thought of, and it has once again resulted in an awesome spectacle with all the Korean parameters, traits and attributes, and the same big names have come together to make South Korea a powerful mainstream hit that is shaking up the world. A variation on Battle Royale and Hunger Games along the lines of Japan's Alice in Borderland has never been more entertaining, smart and disturbing. Squid Game follows the die-hard Korean template and has all the elements every fan expects: an original twisted theme, perfectly written and acted characters with strong progression and changes, the requisite dose of action, violence and high body-count, built-up suspense, believable twists, ornate visuals, compelling dialogue, well-conceived melodrama toying with the audience's emotions, and it wouldn't be Korean if there wasn't also people trafficking. Only the Koreans can incorporate so many elements and present it confidently with a raised middle finger, and they do it again with clarity and breathlessness. Episode 6 is probably the strongest for me and the reveal of the White Horse put a smile on my face, I didn't expect it in the least. Excellent Job. I loved the cameo by Gong Yoo and Lee Jeong-jae in the lead, but in a very unconventional role. Story 5/5, Action 4/5, Humor 1/5, Violence 5/5, Fun 5/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 5/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 5/5, Emotion 4/5, Actors 4/5. 9/10.
