This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This movie really opens your eyes to the reality. It holds such an important message and even though the animal is fictional, the story isn't. The animal and the kid are wonderful, Okja, the CGI character, is remarkably executed. However, the movie has such a predictable story line and there's one thing I don't acctually get. In the end, Nancy Mirando gives the girl her pig for money. How on earth a genetically mutated pig is worth less than that small gold statue? Given that THEY refused to sell them to anyone and only rented them out but in the end, she decides it's OK to just sell the animal. There's another thing, though: the "ALF" needed to make some high-tech device to sneak in using Okja but in the end, they walk right in. No guards and the door wasn't even locked and you're telling me that they have this much trouble getting into these buildings when a little girl managed to do it with little to no effort? It just doesn't make sense. Yet, Okja is still worth a watch; it is surprisingly funny, eye-opening and personally one of the best Netflix has to offer.
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.
I finally had the chance to watch it the other day and it brought me to tears. The movie gives a great dipiction of how the meat industry is ran and it's heartbreaking. I love that this movie had Asian talent working on screen and behind the screen.
I think this is the most underrated picture of all time. It deserves 10 stars, without a doubt. I even cried a little at the end, and damn, that doesn't happens often.
