‘Mickey 17’ First Reactions Praise Bong Joon Ho’s ‘Zany’ and ‘Deeply Chaotic’ Return as the ‘Perfect Allegory for the Hellscape Stage of Capitalism We’re in’
After the London premiere of 'Mickey 17,' first reactions are calling Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson's movie an 'absolute riot' and 'deeply chaotic.'
Adam McKay, who wrote and directed comedies like “Anchorman” and “The Other Guys” as well as Oscar-nominated features like “The Big Short” and “Don’t Look Up,” sang his praises for the film, calling it “a perfect allegory for the hellscape stage of capitalism we’re in right now.” IndieWire chief film critic David Ehrlich is reserving his full thoughts for the review embargo Saturday, but wrote “rest assured that Bong Joon Ho is still very good at making movies.” Based on the 2022 novel “Mickey7” by Edward Ashton, “Mickey 17” stars Robert Pattinson as an “expendable”: a recruit that is sent on fatal missions colonizing an ice planet and then “reprinted” with most of his memories intact.
