Mickey 17
2025 · AvClub
Bong Joon Ho follows up the searing Parasite with a far sillier film that adds 10 Mickeys to Edward Ashton's novel Mickey7 and iterates upon the filmmaker's previous genre movies, combining the rundown, frozen, end-of-the-world aesthetic of Snowpiercer with the clownishness and critters of Okja. But, messy as it is, the filmmaking so energetically delivers its acidic pessimism that it's rarely unpleasant.

Swapped
2026 · AvClub · May 2026
There's nothing transformative about the simple message of Swapped. Imaginative design belies a tired tale about walking a mile in someone else's fur (or feathers), one light on comedy and insight despite plenty of visual imagination in its world of flora-fauna hybrids.
