The Legend of Ochi Review: Isaiah Saxon Draws You Into A Nostalgic Fantasy World You’ll Never Want To Leave

For $10 million, Isaiah Saxon creates a fantasy world more real and emotionally resonant than anything we've seen from the $300 million projects churned out every year. The Legend of Ochi is a fairytale, an adventure, and a love story between humans and the otherworldly idea of nature that's strong in childhood and easily lost in adulthood. Legend of Ochi boasts a star-studded cast, with Willem Dafoe playing a bombastic father, Emily Watson a withholding mother, Finn Wolfhard an uncertain pseudo-son, and Helena Zengel anchoring the cast as Yuri, the young girl who feels more at home in the wildness of the woods.
