Okja - Movie Review
Cast - Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Ahn Seo-hyun, Jake Gyllenhaal
Directed by - Bong Joon-ho
Okja is a action-adventure film directed by Bong Joon-ho which was released on Netflix in 2017. This film would have flew under my radar but all thanks to my favourite critic and youtuber Chris Stuckmann who in his video recommended his viewers to watch this film, I was able to watch this on Netflix and I am glad I did as this is easily one of the best film you can watch on Netflix. Now telling anything about the film or even giving a brief synopsis of it will spoil all the fun you would see. I really recommend watching this one without any prior knowledge as Okja will really surprise and amuse you with it's stellar star cast, entertaining storyline and a fantastic direction with beautiful cinematography.
I would tell you this much as you can see in the movie's poster above that there is a girl and a super pig and she is walking with her so yeah, it tells the relationship between the two of them and I think that's enough for you to know about this film. The minimal knowledge you have, the more you will be surprised and entertained. I watched this film just because of the recommendation, I didn't watch any trailers or read an synopsis and that really helped me in watching this film by keeping an open mind. The story maybe a bit cliche but it's the execution and the way it is presented is what makes the movie worth your while. Some chase sequences are finely executed and comic timing is just perfect here. Darius Khondji's cinematography is just amazing which is coupled with Bong Joon-ho's direction and the end result is magnificient.
The one issue here was that it felt a bit stretched during the final scenes. If the editing had been more crispier and the length slightly chopped, this could have been a perfect film but nevertheless Okja is more fun than a long stretched film.
Coming to the performances, Tilda Swinton as the CEO of Mirando Corporation is menancing. She looks bad, does bad and provides a horrifying trait to her character. She pulls of her part in a bad ass way. Ahn Seo-hyun is adorable and fiery and also gives her best performance. She was a surprise little package. Jake Gyllenhaal as the zoologist and TV personality just camouflages in his role and he has surely established himself as one of the finest actor to be working in the industry. This man can do any role to perfection and never disappoint you when it comes to acting. All the characters who were part of this ALF team in the film were all amazing and gave a nice performance.
Okja is a gem and this kind of movie is very rare nowadays. As said earlier, watch this one without any prior knowledge and be surprised. I wish I had seen it earlier but you know, it's never too late so if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it now on Netflix.
My Rating - 4/5
