Mickey 17 2025
Mickey 17 is the kind of movie that makes you laugh, then immediately makes you question why you’re laughing. It’s sci-fi, sure, but it’s also about the deeply human fear of being replaceable. Bong Joon-ho takes the existential horror of cloning, the bureaucratic nightmare of space colonization, and the general absurdity of being alive and smashes them all together into something weird and wonderful. It’s funny until it isn’t, smart without being smug, and deeply unsettling in a way you won’t fully process until days later. Yet, this is not Bong Joon-ho's best film because Memories of Murder exists.

But then there’s Maris Racal turning even the most uneven script into comedy gold. That ending??? Punchline to another punchline, and almost makes you forgive the film’s hesitation. Almost.

He leaves something raw and intimate in this directorial debut—two people trying to navigate the fragile space between desire and fear. One reaches out, the other pulls away, and somewhere in that tension, something real happens.
