William Schwartz HanCinema 11/05/2024
This basic farce, this mockery both of traditional media and social media in terms of image-making, is what makes Pilot a genuinely funny movie with a lot of great gags. Go to Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 08/14/2024
The breezy comedy Pilot has similarities to the 1982 film Tootsie, but Pilot has updated themes that demonstrate the role that social media can play in shaping public images. Even with its amusing moments, Pilot has a lot to say about gender stereotypes. Go to Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post 08/14/2024
4/5
Pilot is less a tale of deception than one of upending the status quo and highlighting a gender imbalance that persists even in this alleged era of unprecedented progressiveness. That it is also hilarious only helps lift the film to greater heights. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

RM 08/31/2024 Itā€™s a funny, lighthearted movie. Itā€™s good for relaxing, and the realistic ending is great. See more A J @RT30824839 Apr 27 Stumbled upon this after recently watching From A List to Playlist via Netflix before switching streaming services and itā€™s rare I watch reality tv but by happenstance after seeing a Josean tv show which again had the same actor taking on the main character role I was pleasantly surprised to see this film appear through via Viki platform. I really needed a laugh that particular day and admit this did just proffer the perfect culmination of light hearted humorous medicine. The actor seems to be a natural on screen. Admittedly, the documentary aside, itā€™s only the third time seeing him in tv/film and yet he has portrayed his character yet again so convincingly. Really cheered me up watching this film. SKorean reminds me of when homegrown tv films and shows with light hearted humour was aplenty in UK sadly PC overlords have eradicated fun so itā€™s fortunate streaming services widen their reach making access to gems like this film a godsend when vying for some needed escapism See more Anis T @RT41239138 Sep 4 I just finished this movie with my family and we had so much fun watching it! šŸ˜‚ The movie is super funny and I didnā€™t get bored at all. The acting was amazing!! I honestly wish I could watch it for the first time all over again! For anyone who hasnā€™t watch this movie yet, go watch it now!! See more Read all reviews
