"Imagine a high-wire act where the acrobat suddenly leaps to a higher wire, then to another that's higher still. It's the best way I can think of to describe the giddy thrill of watching Parasite, a masterpiece of serial surprises." - Wall Street Journal
WON. Golden Globe: Best Foreign Language Film. "An exhilarating and furious indictment of class struggle, Parasite might be the masterpiece South Korea's Bong Joon-ho has been working toward his entire career. Mixing the social outrage of Snowpiercer, the wild humour of Okja, the heartwarming family drama of The Host, and the slow-boil vengeance of Mother, Bong's latest work is a genre-hopping triumph.
“Focusing on two families – one a clan of con artists living in a cramped basement apartment, the other led by a tech mogul who keeps his wife and two children safely ensconced in a star architect's modern-luxe mansion – Parasite expertly plays with tension and expectations.
“At first, it appears that Bong has created a sharp comedy, especially when he digs into the details of how one family becomes so familiar with the other. But then, in the midst of a torrential thunderstorm no less, both families' lives become upended in the most peculiar of ways, leading to a final hour that is sharp enough to draw blood.” - The Globe and Mail
