- RyezooFebruary 15, 2025Heartfelt, funny, dramatic, and solid acting across the board. This film was gorgeous to look at and really loved the relationship between are main character and Okja. Jake Gyllenhal is the craziest I've ever seen him and it was awesome! This movie is definitely a bigger picture to look at and really loved what they were going for. The only negative is that its little to convenient for our characters at times. I stilled loved this movie and the director continues to impress!
- rg9400November 1, 2024I was surprised to see such a loaded Hollywood cast for this movie, even though most of them are secondary characters. A lot of them play silly characters, especially Jake Gyllenhaal who is doing his best Buster Bluth impression. On the other hand, Ahn Seo-hyun plays a much more grounded and emotionally-driven character, encapsulating the nature of the movie itself. Bong Joon-ho illustrates how people on both sides of the animal cruelty debate at the heart of this movie are absurd and hypocritical while Mija and Okja just get pushed and manipulated despite both just wanting to be together. The movie can be hard to watch at times, especially in the second half. It creates quite the juxtaposition of themes with the first half feeling a lot more lighthearted, though Bong Joon-ho's comedic touch remains throughout. I continue to remain impressed with how he is able to work in such different genres and stories while maintaining his signature, though I do feel like the silliness of some of the characters could have been toned down a bit in this one.
