    Robert Pattison stuns in truly one of the best movie performances I’ve seen.

    It’s a really entertaining watch! The themes are fascinating, the dialogue is funny, and the world building is engrossing. 

    Yet it doesn’t feel as tonally or thematically clean as Bong Joon Ho’s other work. Toni Collette and Mark Ruffollo’s characters are way too goofy and way too on the noise Trumpian and Muskian to be taken seriously as villains and took me out every time they were…
