Okja (2017)


MUST WATCH Bong Joon-ho is one of my favourite filmmakers, he always gets stellar performances from his cast, here Jake Gyllenhaal is unrecognisable, Tilda is perfect and breakout star Seo-Hyun Ahn pulls at the heartstrings. The graphics used to present the scrumptious Okja are impeccable, just a touch better than the original Jurassic Park (1993), never at any point do you doubt his realness, you easily fall in love with this clever, beautiful creature. It looks beautiful, is a wonderful thought provoking story, it will stay with you, towards the end there are some hard to watch scenes that animal lovers may baulk at but the pay off is well worth it. These Netflix original films keep getting better and better. A distinctive film throughout which you will experience many emotions and the good ones will outweigh the bad. Wonderful.



Like This Watch These: The Host (2006) Brilliant heartfelt monster movie from this fantastic director, Snowpiercer (2013) A failed future gives us a dark Captain America and Swinton on scary form, E.T. (1982) The first time i felt love for an on screen creature.
