Critics Consensus

An urgent, brilliantly layered look at timely social themes, Parasite finds writer-director Bong Joon Ho in near-total command of his craft.

very interesting storytelling. wonderfully complex tale of deception and intrigue. did feel the ending was rushed, kinda like they realized they only had 15 minutes left and shoved the last 45 minutes of story into that amount of film.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I think it's a career peak for [Bong Joon-ho].

Watching that drama -- the bricks sort of build and then topple -- is so satisfying.

Independent (UK)

[Bong Joon-ho]'s work is as playful as it is sincere and revelatory. He'll make you feel at home, and then rip the rug out from under you.

Rated: 5/5

Parasite is the movie we will look back on as the movie of 2019. It crosses over to every culture because it’s simply about human beings struggling to survive in an unfair system.

It is sadistic, angry and dark and has a lot to say about the system. This is the world we live in.

Jae-Ha Kim (Substack)

"Parasite" has already made history for South Korea as the country's first film to win a Best Picture Academy Award. There are some moments I can't wrap my head around though, and one of them was the inclusion of Illinois State into the dialogue.

Rated: 4/4
