One of the stars of this excellent movie died a day or so ago. I'm going to look for other movies by this director.

A sharp, sarcastic look at modern society, and its parasitic structure. Who ARE the parasites, really? Multiple characters line up for that honour in this well-scripted, acted, directed, lighted, and produced film for the ages.

a movie critiquing capitalism, from a capitalist country. because in communist countries there are no movies made, except for propaganda to brainwash the populace into liking communism.

This movie is an interesting and thrilling reflection and discussion on modern Korean society and the differences between levels of wealth on families and individuals. This movie gets these ideas across through the invasion of a rich…

Bong Joon Ho, simply put; makes great films. Parasite is no exception. This is an excellent picture.

Excellent film qui mérite amplement toutes les louanges! La version en noir et blanc est vraiment intéressante et le ton est plus menaçant et sombre!

Absolutely deserving of the Oscar! Despite having a similar setting and premise as Alex van Warmerdam's 2013 film, 'Borgman' (the houses in both films look suspiciously similar), Bong Joon-Ho manages to ground his darkly humorous story in…

Was so relieved that this one wasn't spoiled for me along the way. I'll leave it at that. Is one of the few movies that I'd be happy to view again.

Scenes from the class struggle in South Korea: a family of grifters manages to wind up in the employ of a wealthy household. Everything works out just fine ...until it doesn't. Great, in its own ghastly way.

Just could not get into this movie. 30 minutes was enough for me.

"Parasite" by Bong Joon-ho -- I watched maybe 30 minutes of this movie. The rich people are naive and gullible and the poor people are shysters and cheats -- hmmm. Supposedly a scathing commentary on capitalism and inequality, but the…

This 2019 film is highly acclaimed and won many awards including the Academy Award for best picture. The movie, about the poor Kim family who finds ways to inveigle their way into the lives of the wealthy Park family, is interesting…

Outstanding visual storytelling. I was impressed with the performances throughout and I was so thankful that I didn't read much about this one before seeing it this weekend.

Totally unique and poetic movie. I laughed, I gasped, I was surprised. Now I see why it won so many awards.

The comments are fun to read on this number of a movie. It seems when horror movies take to a critique on social issues, it becomes a conversation, which is what I like about horror movies like this. I wouldn't take it too seriously…

Amazing movie with great social commentary.

It has English subtitles. Audio is Korean or French.

Very odd, aptly named, movie about a truly parasitic family, who start out as lying, phony employees & wind up consuming their hosts. Different? Yes. Interesting? Maybe, if you’re interested in Sociology and dysfunctional families.…

Interesting movie; social commentary: the poor become parasites on the rich who in turn are parasites on the poor. At first comical, but then at the exact halfway point (with that fateful doorbell ring) takes a turn into a much darker…

Swings from amusing antics to conniving greed to chilling horror. For such smart scammers they certainly pulled off some dumb moves. Despite having the one virtue of having strong family unity, the film sends out a cold feeling.
