Ki-woo is the one who has dreams of getting out of poverty by one day going to university.

Critic Reviews

CineVue – John Bleasdale : A masterful dissection of social inequality and the psychology of money.

Variety – Jessica Kiang : Bong is back and on brilliant form, but he is unmistakably, roaringly furious, and it registers because the target is so deserving, so enormous, so 2019: Parasite is a tick fat with the bitter blood of class rage.

The Hollywood Reporter – Stephen Dalton : Like much of Bong’s work, Parasite is cumbersomely plotted and heavy-handed in its social commentary. The largely naturalistic treatment here may also alienate some of his fantasy fanboy constituency. That said, this prickly contemporary drama still feels more coherent and tonally assured than Snowpiercer or Okja, and packs a timely punch that will resonate in our financially tough, politically polarized times.
