Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Okja is too much of a good thing. After a massive critical & financial hit w/Snowpiercer, Korean phenom Bong Joon Ho returns w/another cautionary tale for today's times. In a world where food may become a rare commodity, a super pig (more hippo than oinker) is introduced as a marketing ploy as a placating promise for the future masses. Fast forward a decade & we have Okja & Mija, poster child & pet as symbols of the experiment's success. What should be timely, feels forced. Comedy is fleeting & the archness of the message is lost in the bizarre casting & 'make it up as we go' plotting. A misfire of Okjan proportions.

Okja it´s a movie about a new especies that is delivered to 26 different places to be raised and 10 years later comeback to a compettition to see who is the biggest one. It shows the history about Okja, witch is one of the big pigs, raised by Mija since she was a child and after the 10 years she has to be take back to the competition and Mija obviously doesn´t want to "give" to then. THis story really open your eyes about the meat industry and the fake advertising that they make. I´ts a great story but the way they tell end becoming actualy a little boring in my opinion, and they could have given more detais about some especific events that make the history less realistic.

The movie uncovers the very truth about the fate of livestock in a whole capitalist system.It is filled with love, human ruthlessness and awful truth about what actually happens.We all ( well most of us ) love meat and its byproducts but we keep denying how they live and feel.I am not going to say to go vegan since we are created to eat both vegetable and meat products but still we can cut back on meat and react to livestock management.We should never forget that these animals have also feelings and will to live just like us. They deserve better.How would you think about eating your delicious pet dog? The ribs? the legs ?mhmm. Does that sound delicious?

Okja is a fairy tale about a big pig and a little girl. The whole atmosphere of the movie is dreamy like and the plot does give out a fairy tale feel, with some innocence touches that got smashed in the end, but overall, an enjoyable result. My main concern was the special effects that, if they weren't as good, would have ruined the movie, but they were actually good. The performances were really good as well, and the language switching was okay for me, but I'm used to watching Korean movies as well as western, so it wasn't something new for me, but I can see why some people might get bothered. Other than that, this movie was very entertaining, so 8 out of 10.
