To me, this movie is Robert Pattinson’s, which feels odd as a Bong Joon-Ho movie. Yes, there are familiar elements of genre crossing, class warfare, but in the end the movie works due to the chaotic, comedic performance from Pattinson. You’re right in that the movie has a lot going on but it sticks most of the landings, in my opinion.

I’ve been on the fence about seeing this in theaters and this is very helpful
you should see Snowpiercer, it is so good
