- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: It’s dispiriting and maybe even a little cynical but, in its elegiac final moments, Okja reminds us that small victories for good are still possible so long as we remember that there are stronger bonds between living things than money.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A rollicking tale about animal rights, interspecies love, and corporate greed.
- Francisco Cangiano @ CineXpress [Spanish]
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Matt Donato @ We Got This Covered
- Excerpt: Okja is a wild, tender tale of wonderment and friendship, delightful but still with smacks of vile consumerism darkness.
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Nguyen Le @ The Critical Critics
- Excerpt: That will do, super pig. That will do.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: This is a movie that includes the line, “Anus, as American as apple pie,” it doesn’t get made most places.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: What’s truly great about the film is Bong’s disinterest in the notion of “happily ever after” as inevitability. He consistently presents his characters with choices that they must make in accordance with who they are.
- Kristy Puchko @ Pajiba.com
- Excerpt: Okja offers escapism with a generous dose of politics that makes it fascinating, funky, and fabulous.
- James Roberts @ Glide Magazine
- Excerpt: At its core, Okja is a film about corporate greed run amok, and how the corporatist agenda oppresses the little guy even if the aims are beneficial.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: Outrageous as the “Okja” plot may seem, it deals with important issues and makes us think– not simply enjoy. It ends up being a movie that matters.
