The film challenges modern views on the larger meat industry and large corporations, and does not shy away from the disturbing realities of both that many shy away from. The film follows the journey of a young girl, Mija ( Ahn Seo-hyun), as she attempts to save Okja, the genetically modified pig that she has raised since piglet-hood, who has been taken to the United States to be processed for food. Maggie BoccellaĬast: Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Ahn Seo-hyun, Byun Hee-bong, Steven Yeun, Lily Collins, Yoon Je-moon, Shirley Henderson, Daniel Henshall, Devon Bostick, Choi Woo-shik, Giancarlo Esposito and Jake GyllenhaalĮclectic and emotional, Okja is an imaginative film that both excites and invigorates, as well as pulls at the heartstrings. Lisa is unsettling in a way that goes against type for Gyllenhaal, rivaling her brother’s performances in films like Velvet Buzzsaw, forcing audiences to question how much trust we put in others, and what the idea of fame is capable of doing to us. Using the boy’s talent to her advantage, she adopts his poetry as her own to impress her writing tutor ( Gael García Bernal), but soon escalates her behavior, isolating the boy from his own family and friends and attempting to use his talent for her own personal gain. Her life takes a turn for the chaotic when one of her students, Jimmy ( Parker Sevak), displays a remarkable talent for poetry - something she seems to lack. Asking the question of what we’re willing to do for a little notoriety, The Kindergarten Teacher follows Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Lisa, a struggling elementary school teacher who wants nothing more than to escape her dull, difficult life by way of her poetry. Remakes of international films for an American market are not uncommon, but it’s very rare that the newer projects accomplish just what their predecessors were gunning for, and Sara Colangelo’s directorial debut is one of them. Cast: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gael García Bernal, Parker Sevak, Anna Baryshnikov, Rosa Salazar, Michael Chernus
