Parasite

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.

[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.

This is what a true masterpiece looks like.

Bong delivers a stunning return to form with this newest venture.

A tragicomic masterclass that will get under your skin and eat away at your cinematic soul.

The film feels too insincere and hypocritical to take genuinely seriously on its theme of social injustice.

Boon Joon Ho keeps us thoroughly enthralled as the story unfolds, deftly calibrating shifts in tone between satire, screwball farce, black comedy and horror, and also nimbly balancing our sympathies between the two families.

A splendid take on class inequalities that force the audience to question who is the parasite, the rich or the poor.

Not content with a basic premise of crime and punishment, director Bong Joon Ho goes a step further, eventually corkscrewing off on a tangent that drags out the running time.
