assieyamin I want my own Okja! Well acted and totally out there story but engrossing none the less! Watch, believe and enjoy a giant pig who you will want as you're best friend.

adam-may-bower 'Okja' is a bizarre film that leaves it's intended impact on the audience. Essentially, I was excited to see this film for it's cast. Containing my two favourite actors, Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal, as well as having Steven Yeun and Lily Collins, I knew the acting in 'Okja' would be nothing short of amazing. While Swinton stole every scene she was in, the lead performance from thirteen year-old Seo-Hyeon Ahn was the real stand-out performance and is the reason the movie has so much heart and soul. The plot of the film, written by director Bong Joon-ho, is highly original and disturbing, and it is clear what Joon-ho wants his audience to feel. You would not want to be eating meat while watching this movie, and even afterwards. Upon first glance, 'Okja' may appear to be preachy and persuasive, but it really is just blatant and disturbing commentary on corporate greed and the naive consumerism of our society. Joon-ho approaches this in a very weird manner, with odd characters and random moments of humour that don't match up with it's overall dark and heavy themes. While this may repulse mainstream audiences, Okja manages to shine through it's important message and brilliant acting.

samestelle The middle of the movie was very depressing when Okja was forced in the lab however what really got me was the ending how the baby had to be separated from the parents to survive. It really messed with my brain and I couldnt stop crying for at least ten minutes. The more i tried to speak the worse I cried. Thought it was going to be a cute movie but was wrong and homestly this movie could probably turn me vegan.

mscravings Sometimes, I don't understand why there is a need for so much profanity that is not really necessary to establish the characters in the movies. I did not like that one a bit for this movie.On the story, I should have read more that this is not a feel good movie .. :). If you love eating meat, you might feel bad after watching this movie. We already know that we kill pigs to get pork and cows to get beef. But what might be disturbing for most is how far people will take it to satisfy their cravings and hunger for success. On the acting, I saw a different Jake Gyllenhall here, but I just felt that the acting was a bit over the top or maybe it's just the character itself was not really necessary to that extent that gives any add on to the movie. I would applaud though the Korean girl.I didn't like the movie, and not something I am compelled to recommend others to watch because I am awed by it, regardless if it's my type of movie or not.I felt it is a bit too dramatic to get the point across -- animal cruelty, mutation, corporate greed, etc
