    I may like it a hair less than others but it is indeed a fun sexy time.

    Bong Joon-Ho knows exactly what he wants to do with Pattinson, (a miscast) Ruffalo and Toni Collette. He has no idea what to do with everyone else — even the aliens! — except use them to advance plot. This leads to a lot of padding in an otherwise fun, gonzo satire. Brazil-by-way-of-Starship Troopers. Pattinson is great and parts of this really hum, including the explorations of class and what it means to live.

    André Holland thrives here. Excellent work. But the real star is Tarell Alvin McCraney‘s script. Sodebergh brings it to life visually but it’s McCraney’s story and he tells it well.

    Yeah it’s that great but what I didn’t expect was how funny it would be. Park Chan-Wook has a wicked sense of humor.
