It's netflix or nothing. That was the Cannes controversy because it played there but Cannes has no amour for Netflix, so it was booed when the netflix logo appeared (it also got a long standing ovation - must be all the wine and cheese).
Not only does it star Tilda in a total film-stealing role (truly this is one of her best quirky villainesses so far), it also has Paul Dano in great form, Jake Gyllenhaal in his goofiest role so far, and Lily Collins, who really only has her bushy bushy eyebrows. But it's Bong's ability to show kids that takes the fatted superpig. Ahn Seo-hyun is perfect in her pluckiness and intensity. Like I said, not a perfect film at all, not as good as The Host, but arguably better than Snowpiercer (although I may be biased because I liked it's anti-GMO stance). Either way, definitely worth the view if you're into Bong's work.
