The Guardian
The pure energy and likability of this film make it such a pleasure. - 100
The Playlist
This is a gorgeously realized popcorn movie of the most satisfying, comforting, restorative kind: full as its heart is, it has a lot on its mind, yet you’d also quite like to curl up on its belly and doze in the sun. - 83
IndieWire
As with Snowpiercer, this is a story almost too eager to fire in multiple directions, sometimes with messy results, veering from broad satire to softer exchanges with little regard for finding balance between the two. - 80
CineVue
Okja is exuberant and wild filmmaking. - 80
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The film is packed with so many strange gems of moments, and while a few feel like Bong losing the plot (specifically any time Okja decides to loosen her bowels) it always snaps back together. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Like the cumbersome hybrid animal at its heart, this beast is no beauty. But it is a technically impressive and boldly original statement. - 70
Variety
Downright charming at times and irrepressibly gonzo at others, Okja hews to an all-too-familiar trajectory. - 60
Screen Daily
Okja is fun, if sometimes over-egged, as an adventure romp, but flounders in overstatement when it comes to satirical intent.
