I found Mickey 17 to be a messy but fascinatingly timely and richly rewarding political satire and sci-fi flick that is, ultimately, strangely filling despite some hiccups along the way. Read more

Weaving sensibilities and ideas present in Snowpiercer, Okja, The Host as well as any number of clone movies, Mickey 17 could feel borrowed. It doesn’t. Like the best science fiction, it feels close enough to reality to be a bit nightmarish. Read more

Bong Joon-ho's first film since Parasite is an unapologetically loud and bizarre blend of sci-fi and comedy... Read more

Tonally, the film seems all over the place, sometimes veering from its sci-fi basis into manic comedy, only some of which sticks. Read more

Bong Joon Ho’s post Best Picture return to cinemas is a little too absurdist, and a little too hamfisted, to be truly great; but there are some fun unique sci-fi moments here mixed with a wonderful lead performance. Read more

When it comes to blending dark humor, social commentary, and sci-fi, Bong Joon-ho usually nails it. However, this time around, he doesn’t quite hit the mark. Read more

It’s difficult not to appreciate the environments he’s crafted, while Pattinson is exceptional in his multiple-role performance. But for a picture that should have had so many shades of gray in its moral examinations, Mickey 17 is awfully black and white. Read more

Mickey 17 is a film that presumes its audience are morons, and its contempt for the viewer is summed up when Pattinson's voiceover tells us that 17 is followed by 18. With its juvenile humour and mugging performances, Mickey 17 plays like a love letter to the awful sci-fi movies of Luc Besson, but with the brightness turned down. Read more

Mickey 17 is een van Bongs minder geslaagde films, maar dat is gezien zijn oeuvre absoluut geen schande. Bong levert geestig, satirisch vermaak met een dosis popfilosofie en sterke actiescènes. Read more

Mickey 17 toont opnieuw hoe frivool & speels regisseur Bong Joon-Ho kan omgaan met maatschappelijke & futuristische thema’s. Read more

Pattinson bewijst opnieuw hoe veelzijdig hij is, en Bong Joon-Ho's kenmerkende stijl werkt, vooral in de eerste helft, uitstekend. Hoewel het verhaal later wat steken laat vallen, juich ik het alleen maar toe dat er meer van dit soort vreemde genrecocktails op het witte doek verschijnen. Read more

Ondanks het vermaak is de vertelling vlak en monotoon. Wanneer je verwacht dat de film opleeft doet het dat niet. Nooit wordt het spannend, terwijl de momenten zich daar wel voor lenen. Read more

Ondanks de sterke cast, maakt Mickey 17 weinig indruk. Read more
