    ★★★★

    I love this movie. Great visual and musical storytelling. So much energy. Poignant thread is love of language and desire  to preserve it. I did not expect to cry, but I did. Languages are worth preserving.

    ★★★★

    Tightly constructed and acted intellectual spy games and intrigues and as always with  Soderbergh a thought provoking question or two woven in. 
    Such a pleasure!! Pure entertainment!!

    ★★★

    Strong, charismatic  ensemble cast. Many nods to previous movies in the genre. My second Guy Richie film. Wanted more from him given this great fictional story . . . .

    ★★★★

    Startling to see MGM's logo preceding Bong Joon-ho's continuing thematic critique of capitalism, class, and social inequity sauced with questions about the dangers and benefits of technology. The cast is wonderful, satire is pointed and biting, creatures indigenous to the planet grown on us. An engaging, wild, fun and funny film, and thoughtful!! Is Bong encouraging a conversation between Mickey,  Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017)?
