PRAISE FOR THE FILM PARASITE:
"A flat-out masterpiece...the most important film of the year."

Fortune
"[A] brilliant genre mash-up...Parasite has a rich set of ideas -- relevant ones. It has a righteous, playful sense of humor outmatched only by the beautiful timing and sharp, personable wit of its cast, [and] the wit of its stylish director, who brings his richest storytelling instincts to bear on the material."
Vanity Fair
"An acid-black comedy that eats at the mind...What keeps you rapt in Parasite is the visual wit -- every shot distills the movie's themes -- and the richness of the characters and performances."
Vulture
"A spicy genre guacamole with a social commentary that speaks to all of us... the brilliance and uniqueness of Parasite resides not only in the fact that it blends genres seamlessly, but that each sequence, scene, camera angle and performance is incredibly precise."
Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Variety
"Brilliant and insidious."
The Guardian
"A tremendous work...the most pleasurable experience you [will] have in a movie theater."
GQ
"The best movie of the year so far."
Slate
"[Bong Joon Ho's] most arresting social satire yet."
NPR
"Bong is a merchant of stealth."
The New Yorker
"[Bong's] finest work in a variety of genres."
Chicago Tribune
"A social satire of almost breathless audacity, a three-dimensional chess game of Darwinian one-upmanship that is by turns hilarious, terrifying, and brutal."
Boston Globe
