- I’m 30 minutes in and if Okja dies I will never watch a film again for the rest of my life  I have never loved a fictional creature more in such a short amount of time  Ok I finished the film and it was much much much worse than Okja dying.  I have never been this traumatised by a film before.  I had to take a couple of long breaks on the last scene  I think I may be a vegetarian now  This film was very good though, a lot of great acting performances, especially from the main girl. Always nice to see Paul Dano in a film and Steven Yeun. And Jake Gyllenhaal somehow playing a more deranged character than he did in nightcrawler. Also Gus from breaking bad plays the exact same character he always does (but it works every time)  The ending was crazy good and was very thought provoking. I liked this film a lot. 8.0/10 Stick around for a pretty cool after credit scene. The ALF were pretty funny. Edit: it’s 1 month later and I’m still vegetarian. I actually haven’t eaten meat even once since watching this. This film changed me.
