    extremely unpleasant blend of unimaginative sci fi, political smugness and millennial humor. bong joon ho playing the hits to diminishing returns.

    By far the most my opinion has ever changed about a movie on rewatch. Happy to admit I was wrong about this one. Complete masterpiece

    masterpiece. so up my alley its not even funny. intimidating runtime to say the least (longest movie i have ever seen) but if you're in the right mode for a rich multi layered romance drama saga this is as good as it gets. some of the most complex characters/commentary on friend groups and couples you will ever encounter. immediately fav hamaguchi.
