If the movie is a Rorschach of who you identify as parasite and host, it's a test you're just as likely to fail; a filmgoing experience that refuses to fit into any box, and forces viewers to breathe the dangerous air outside of it too. December 11, 2019 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

Let's just say that by "Parasite's" conclusion, what started out as a comedy of manners has become a furious snarl of rage and his most arresting social satire yet. December 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Even if its social message about culture and class (Alfred-Hitchcock-by-way-of-Karl-Marx) is laid on too thick in the end, this Parasite slithers most agreeably. December 11, 2019 | Full Review…

It isn't an easy ride, and as with life in the non-metaphorical world, the destination is uncertain. You'll see strange and wonderful things along the way. December 11, 2019 | Full Review…

Never let the audience off the hook, Hitchcock once said. Ho achieves this in spades and with more than one hook. February 21, 2020 | Full Review…

From his opening shots, Bong Joon-Ho establishes the upstairs/downstairs dynamic of his razorsharp, bleakly funny, unmistakably furious skewering of capitalism and class divides. February 20, 2020 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Bong hoped to give his film a classic sheen by creating a 'b&w' version. He needn't have done this: with or without color, Parasite will certainly be classic enough. February 20, 2020 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
