A young girl named Mija risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend - a massive animal named Okja.
Bong Joon-ho's genre-blending adventure earns broad critical admiration for its tonal audacity — balancing genuine warmth toward its central friendship against a pointed, often savage critique of the food industry. Critics largely found the juggling act impressive, though the film's swings between whimsy and horror left some divided on whether the shifts feel controlled or chaotic. Its cultural footprint has only grown since release, with the film recognized among the decade's most influential.
“Okja is a miracle of imagination and technique, and Okja insists, with abundant mischief and absolute sincerity, that she possesses a soul.”
