Okja

It reviews better than it plays — admired more than it is enjoyed.

• “The pure energy and likability of this film make it such a pleasure.”

  Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian · 100

• “This is a gorgeously realized popcorn movie of the most satisfying, comforting, restorative kind: full as its heart is, it has a lot on its mind, yet you’d also quite like to curl up on its belly and doze in the sun.”

  Jessica Kiang, The Playlist · 100

• “Not only is Mija’s mission genuinely involving, but Bong and his co-writer, the author Jon Ronson, also get great comic mileage out of satirizing the Mirando corporation, rendering it a hilarious amalgamation of all of capitalism’s evils, as well as the A.L.F. and their oxymoronic credo of non-violent terrorism.”

  Giovanni Marchini Camia, The Film Stage · 100

• “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.”

  Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times · 100

• “The picture, which never stops moving, is dense with information and feeling. Barbs of satire pop up and are washed away on streams of strong emotion. It’s all marvelously preposterous and yet, at the same time, something important is at stake.”
