Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it

• This is easily one of Netflix's best movies. Okja explores the line between commodity and pet. This strays a bit too far over the top at times, but that often serves to generate amazing sequences. Creating a new species for the movie was a clever way to better convey the point about animal cruelty.
• This crams three movies into one with a big corporation, the main story of a girl and her pet, and an animal rights group.
