JUST WATCH IT. It won that prestigious award for a reason.

What an amazing film! The word 'masterpiece' is being thrown around for a very well-deserved reason. I can't wait until I get to see it again. Advice? Don't read a review. Don't watch the trailer. Go in as blind as possible. To be fair, the trailer doesn't give anything…

Fearlessly goes where many movies have already gone. The only original element is that it tries to combine genres. Not a terrible movie but significantly less praiseworthy than the hype would have you believe.

A much superior film to Jordan Peele's Us.

Definitely not what I expected but I went in knowing nothing, as suggested, and was not disappointed.

Wasn’t what I was expecting. I was entertained and was not expecting the turn the movie took.

Wasn't sure what to expect, other than lots of reading (subtitles). But started out with lots of weird situational humor and. Then took off like a crazy wild roller-coaster. The ending got dark fast and was quite a twist. I'd recommend this movie to all.

Masterpiece

This movie is a marvel of cinema. The lighting. Set design. Writing. Direction. Acting. There are movies you can’t describe. And you have to experience. Only in the movies. This is one of those rare movies at the ultimate heights of a master director. They rarely make them…

Honestly, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The cinematography is top notch which really sets the film up for success. The acting was also superb.

Excellent movie. No words can fully describe it. I don’t think I can sincerely recommend it despite my praise. Watch at your own risk, although if you’re more worried about reading subtitles quickly, I’d say they’re well-paced for your convenience.

I bit surprising, but with lots of plot twist. Felt a bit longer than 2 hours. I am left with a lot to think about.

Not as dark as the trailer made it seem. I wouldn’t consider it a horror movie. Though it was still very good!

A movie is only as good as it’s story. Parasite is original, fresh, and it is cleverly told. The premise is great and the story never feels like it is being bogged down. Everything makes sense and it even has moments of shock that make the movie gripping. It’s unfortunate…

Parasite is quite simply a supreme feat of film-making, a tense and hilarious jewel box of a film that draws you deeper and deeper into its wicked, absurdist satire.

The story begins as a social satire of rich and poor, as witty and sophisticated in its fashion as vintage Preston Sturges or Ernst Lubitsch. Remarkably, though, it gets funnier as it grows more serious, then savagely funny and finally…but we mustn’t get ahead of a movie that stays ahead of its audience every frame of the way.

A masterful dissection of social inequality and the psychology of money.
