"Parasite": Movie Review
The consequential social commentary demonstrated in the new film "Parasite" can be wildly over the top. Its incessant perspective on wealth, class, and technology can be wearing, but this brutally entertaining affair is, at times, nothing short of brilliant.
As a lower class family of four lands on desperate times, their recklessness breeds into chaos, as an unsuspecting upper class family is in for something heinous. It's all one enormous metaphor of why the wealthy are gullible fools, which obstructs some of its most thrillingly vital scenes.
However, its distinguished characters, striking cinematography and dense profusion of black humor is enough to swat away any of its lingering issues.
Director Bong-Joon Ho ("Okja", "Snowpiercer") has without question, executed his best film to date.
