Overview

• Neon released the first U.S. trailer for No Other Choice and confirmed a December 25 theatrical opening with a wider rollout in January.
• The film follows a laid-off worker who targets rival job applicants, using absurdist tragicomedy to probe class pressures and aging out of the workforce.
• Lee Byung-hun leads the cast as Man-su, earning strong notices for a performance critics describe as sympathetic yet uncompromising.
• After an acclaimed Venice premiere, the movie is playing at the New York Film Festival as it positions for the year-end calendar.
• Reviewers draw comparisons to Parasite while noting Park’s more overtly absurd approach, placing the film within a broader wave of politically charged, auteur-driven stories this year.
