Okja's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
The pure energy and likability of this film make it such a pleasure.
The Playlist
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.
Indiewire
As with Snowpiercer, this is a story almost too eager to fire in multiple directions, sometimes with messy results, veering from broad satire to softer exchanges with little regard for finding balance between the two.
Variety
Downright charming at times and irrepressibly gonzo at others, Okja hews to an all-too-familiar trajectory.
The Hollywood Reporter
Like the cumbersome hybrid animal at its heart, this beast is no beauty. But it is a technically impressive and boldly original statement.
Time Out
The creature effects are charming.... But the pig-chasing antics and cartoonish corporate nastiness that dominate much of the film become seriously grating.
The Telegraph
Okja is plenty of fun, and smart around the edges, but the girl-and-her-pig stuff can drag, and it feels like it?s pressing for resonance more than properly achieving it.
Time
Okja takes the worst impulses of Walt Disney, Wes Anderson, Tim Burton and Michael Moore and rolls them into one movie.
