Collider | ‘Okja’ Review

Collider

There is an unavoidable controversy surrounding the Netflix titles screening in competition at the 70th Festival de Cannes. There are passionate feelings all around and no easy answers, unless you’re Netflix, of course, who financed the two features and could easily release them in theaters first if they wanted to. The fear is that the brouhaha might overshadow the filmmakers’ artistic endeavors playing out on screen. Happily, that’s not the case with Bong Joon-ho’s cinematic marvel Okja.
