A thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining movie.June 28, 2017
As in Snowpiercer and The Host, Bong presents a dangerous world where people at all stages on the moral spectrum just have to do their best to survive. There are no easy victories or pat solutions.June 28, 2017
Okja unfolds like a fable about a child and their nonhuman pal that's been warped into something bleak and outrageous -- E.T. by way of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.June 28, 2017
Because of Bong's technical wizardry and fondness for his characters, the titular creature's convincing CGI, and the go-for-broke cast, Okja's slapdash scrappiness routinely works.June 28, 2017
An estimable film with peculiar characters that manage to catch our attention well beyond the abundance of peculiar faces. [Full review in Spanish]June 28, 2017
In short, Okja is a wrong-footing mash-up that delivers a sharp jolt to the meat-eater's conscience.June 29, 2017
Bong Joon-ho's all-star eco-fable of a girl and her giant pig Is wacky, weird and wonderful. It's also part kiddie treat and part horrorshow, but hang on-it's worth it.June 28, 2017
Okja demonstrates that there is no subject Bong Joon-ho cannot make compelling, thrilling and moving.June 28, 2017
With his latest work, Bong has created a heroine for our times, an indelible movie creature, a story that balances heart and head and a movie that engages with the boundaries of technology both on-screen and off.June 29, 2017
No one, but no one, makes movies like Bong, a South Korean master who combines baroque concepts, epic visuals, international casts, and a sense of humor that can make you laugh out loud in the middle of the darkest doings.June 29, 2017
One of Okja's great charms lies in its director's ability to vary tone, pacing, and style between scenes without losing the viewer's patience and sympathy.June 28, 2017
A work of melancholy enchantment, by turns sweet, raucously funny, scary and sad, and -- in the manner of all good science fiction movies -- thought-provoking.
