    “maybe it’s puppy love… maybe it’s big dog love”

    real self discovery begins at adolescence. mira is a confident student yet everyone has a first time when one must be vulnerable and open to being inexperienced in a situation. shuchi talati’s debut film is a gentle lens delivering tenderness with tightly cropped frames that focus on first soft touches of intimacy and knowing glances between mira and her mom. the daughter and mother dynamic lead to shedding a couple tears at the end…

    ★★

    satire feels thick and sloppy with allusions to modern science, trump, and morality. the special charm of bong joon ho’s humor is perfectly timed absurdity cutting through tense scenes and building a character with distinctive traits so it’s impossible to classify them as evil or good. too many topics and characters weren’t developed fully so it just lands as okay. also seems like bjh wanted to explore snowpiercer, okja, and parasite themes and mashed them together into mickey 17. 

    ps. i want a creeper as a pet
