Are you and Nasha open?
My first film of 2025! Bong Joon-ho’s English-language features are never the best way to introduce a viewer to his films. From Snowpiercer and Okja to Mickey17, his sci-fi projects are far from gripping compared to his works that were filmed in South Korea. Without comparison, this new feature is thrilling enough in the final scenes. Perhaps the exposition is too long, and the story doesn’t officially start until you’re thirty minutes into it.
