Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17 isn't named for the narcissistic billionaire that is its villain.

Robert Pattinson plays the Jackass clown in a daffy death montage, softening the blow of his repeated demise with physical comedy.

Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette give Trump with a hint of Okja .

Bong offers a ray of hope for those opposing a brutal authority.

Mickey 17 isn't a playbook of resistance but a parable of hope.

The journey Mickey goes on is winding and wild, bucking the conventional flow of a sci-fi action movie.

Instead, Mickey 17 plays as a political comedy with cross-genre flare.
