Indra Lesmana Mar 14 2020 6:39 am Adorable Okja

kittyweese Feb 14 2020 6:47 am Very good movie, but heartbreaking. I sobbed the last thirty minutes of the film. Story, directing, acting superb -- but what do you expect from Bong Joon Ho except excellence.

I would recommend, but be prepared to cry . . . lots!

Jinjoo Jul 05 2019 12:12 am this movie is well made and all cast were terrific! amazing how they created the animation of Okja plus i'm really impressed with how they made her look so real, the flesh & all that, am speechless! kudos to the production, director and everyone involved! 2 thumbs up!! i know i love eating pork but watching this movie & how animals are being slaughtered could make me a vegetarian soon :) thanks asianwiki for having this wonderful site!

Joyous Jul 15 2017 2:10 am Wow!! This is a must watch film! Mr. Joon Ho Bong was such a great director. A two thumbs up for all the casts, staff and crew!!

But I need an ALF success story please.

DramaLover Jul 02 2017 1:01 am The premise sounds similar to King Kong, but with a twist of Jungle Book in there. Looks very promising from the trailer teaser so far.

Celine Jun 29 2017 8:40 pm Wow Bong Joong Ho! It should be a must watch movie then!

dietmntndew Jun 08 2017 12:27 pm The cast!!! The story!! Cant wait for this!!! I love how netflix is also creating entertainment for halyu fans.

Justyn MacFarland aka Hee-Jung Kim Jun 07 2017 8:10 pm I heard about the premier of this movie on Netflix this month today on NPR interview and my interest was peaked when hearing the Korean girl's name, "Okja." The premise is extremely intriguing and one-of-a-kind genre for Korean movie and the corroborative efforts with Hollywood cast also seem unique. I can't wait to see it!

hagu May 19 2017 5:19 am the review from who watch it in channes 2017 are good. Cant wait to see the movie

Eskimo May 18 2017 7:53 am If we have netflix as the distributor, do we still get to catch it on big screen?

Omarin Feb 05 2017 3:37 pm I'm really curious about his beacause of the cast, there's so many hollywood actors like jack gyllenhaal, lily collins, tilda the'res even Paul Dano and Steven Yeun but there's also korean actors like Choi Wooshik and that's sooooooo cool ^^ can't wait

Okja
