Review of Okja (2017) by Thesquirrelboy — 29 Jun 2017

While certainly a unique film watching experience, Okja struggles to blend it's satire with it's more dramatic moments. Swinton and Seo-Hyun Ahn are strong, but the rest of the cast is either ridiculously out of place (Gyllenhaal) or given little to nothing to do (Collins, Espacito, Yeun, Bostick).

Despite once again creating a film that has strong production value and is beautiful visually, much of Joon-Ho's film is over the top, which takes away from the still somewhat effective and emotional message and commentary that the film was trying to portray.
