Bong Joon Ho’s last movie—2013’s agit-prop sci-fi saga Snowpiercer—proved just a little divisive: Many Americans weren’t able to roll with the South Korean director’s jarring blend of comedy, drama, and social commentary. His latest, Okja, premieres on Netflix this week and—just a guess—it’s also going to split audiences. This time he’s delivered a film about a few things: capitalism’s inherent predation, the food-production processes that most carnivores decide to ignore, and a giant, goofy, huggable super pig that likes to romp around in the forest. It’s great.
