REVIEW SUMMARY
Revelations solidifies Yeon Sang-ho's status as one of the boldest, most intriguing filmmakers in contemporary South Korean cinema. With a deep exploration of the weight that religious fanaticism, guilt, and trauma can exert on human morality, its thematically complex script challenges the traditional perception of good and evil, showing how personal interpretation can distort both reality and the sense of justice. Featuring two exceptional central performances, one of the most striking films of the year leaves a haunting reflection: are our choices truly our own, or merely inevitable responses to invisible forces that shape us?
