An absolute cinematic disaster.

A poor family, the Kims, becomes entangled with the wealthy Park family, gradually infiltrating their lives through a series of elaborate schemes. As their deceit deepens, the inherent class disparities between the two families come into stark focus, leading to unexpected and increasingly tense consequences. The film explores themes of social hierarchy, aspiration, and the hidden lives within privileged spaces.

If Parasite was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Watched Parasite so you don't have to. You're welcome.

If whispered monologues were currency, Parasite would settle the national debt.

Parasite confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Parasite actually is?

Look, I wanted to love Parasite. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Parasite is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, Parasite would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Parasite?

Just got out of Parasite and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Parasite's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Director clearly thought Parasite was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
