Bernard Ozarowski’s review published on Letterboxd:
I was given great advice about Parasite: "read nothing, go in blind, trust Joon-ho Bong." You should follow that advice too and just go see it.
If you wants some further thoughts on it, here's what I'll share. Parasite is a brilliant interplay of scathing social commentary, horrific violence, uproarious humor, and trenchant character drama. I'm almost at a loss to describe the film. It feels as though the best elements of Shoplifters, Burning, The Dinner Game, Ready or Not, and every heist movie ever were tossed into a blender and sprinkled liberally with doses of black humor. Joon-ho Bong is a truly a mad craftsman here at the very height of his power.
The cast is uniformly strongly and, most compelling, even the most apparently revolting characters are humanized in key ways. The theatrical translation is witty and excellent. There's a ton to unpack here - the sort of stuff best held for serious film criticism and not quick reviews and rankings. Parasite is one of the very best films of the year.
