    ★★★★

    a quintessential Bon Joon Ho movie. almost like a thesis of his past work. has the class commentary of Parasite/Snowpiercer, the tech elements and ethical questions of Snowpiercer, and the environmental commentary of Okja. Ho is masterful at reiterating the same message without feeling repetitive. i love directors with a strong pov.

    also too many good acting moments to name. make more movies that allow actors to ACT!! i wanna see people make choices and do crazy shit!! it’s FUN.

    have to add that i saw this on a date and she cried the entire final act. so i added half a star for that🫵

    SO FIRED UP RN. I CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING SO MUCH. WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN. 🫵🫶

    also i just finished talking to my APUSH class abt the industrial revolution & gilded age. and am convinced were living in a reiteration of that time rn (tech/ai revolution, insane wealth disparity, similarities between McKinley and Trump, etc) and was so PUMPED when they brought it up in this. you know what came after the gilded age??? THE PROGRESSIVE ERA. FUCK YEAH. 

    anyway. this fucks. possibly the most important thing you could watch given our circumstances atm.

    the film itself is fine. predictable plot and standard character tropes. andrea riseborough’s performance is great. butttt thats literally it. the oscar nom stuff is weird but tbh who actually cares?
