* CompleteMonster: [[EvilUncle Uncle Kouzuki]] is a [[DirtyOldMan depraved old pervert]] helping UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan to annex Korea. He obtains custody of his niece, Hideko, beating her, forcing her to read and act out pornography, all while intending to marry her and force himself on her. When his wife, another victim of his abuse, attempts to rescue Hideko, Kouzuki [[NeverSuicide murders her and makes it look like a suicide]]. Kouzuki is also a vicious torturer, keeping a basement as a [[TortureCellar torture dungeon]] where he dissects people and keeps their remains as trophies, which he attempts to do to the conman Fujiwara. Kouzuki slowly carves off his fingers, pressing him for details of how Hideko was in bed, before deciding to take Fujiwara's manhood as a trophy.

The scene that accompanies the score is ultimate catharsis and a big Fuck You to the patriarchy. Not to mention that it's a perfect love letter from one lover to her great love.

* BrokenBase: Whether Park's attempt to have the lesbian sex scenes avoid catering to the MaleGaze worked. Laura Miller, of ''Slate'', thought that the attempt failed, [[http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/movies/2016/10/park_chan_wook_s_the_handmaiden_based_on_sarah_waters_fingersmith_reviewed.html writing that]] the scenes display "visual clichés of pornographic lesbianism, [the actresses'] bodies offered up for the camera’s delectation." ''[[Magazine/TheNewYorker The New Yorker]]'''s Jia Tolentino disagreed, [[https://www.newyorker.com/culture/jia-tolentino/the-handmaiden-and-the-freedom-women-find-only-with-one-another writing that]] "the women know what they look like, it seems—they are consciously performing for each other—and Park is deft at extracting the particular sense of silly freedom that can be found in enacting a sexual cliché."
