Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tim Robey Monocle I think it's a career peak for [Bong Joon-ho]. Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Simran Hans Monocle Watching that drama -- the bricks sort of build and then topple -- is so satisfying. Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) [Bong Joon-ho]'s work is as playful as it is sincere and revelatory. He'll make you feel at home, and then rip the rug out from under you. Rated: 5/5 Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Emma Simmonds Radio Times It's a wonderfully sneaky film that, before you know it, will have worked its way right under your skin. Rated: 5/5 Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Denise Pieniazek Puesta en Escena (AR) Fundamentally, Parasite aims to make us reflect on today's society, where the gap between the rich, the middle class and the poor is increasing.The spatial construction that the film proposes is a metaphor for the cruel social pyramid system. Rated: 9.5 Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Parasite (2019) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Diana Tuova Spotlight on Film Parasite is both darkly hilarious and delightfully shocking, setting a new sky-high standard for black comedy – the style of Bong Joon-ho. Rated: 5/5 Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
