Review of Okja (2017) by Chris F — 06 Aug 2017

Okja is an entertaining and enjoyable movie. The cast was good for the most part. The little girl was really good, as was Tilda Swinton and Paul Dano in their respective roles. Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was an interesting one to say the least.

I think he was a little over the top in my opinion, but still entertaining nevertheless. The plot is entertaining and kept me invested. The first half hour was a little too slow in my opinion. Also, the film jumbles genres a little too much.

Thankfully, director Bong Joon-Ho knows how to effectively use these genres to tell a great story. Overall, this was a fun movie with a great story. The film had some great action scenes, and had some great humor.

While these genres don't always mix well, the film still delivers an entertaining experience.
