Parasite Ratings & Reviews
- Steven Anderson3d agoDefinitely worth watching.
- gamegye8April 4, 2025Fun watch but I don’t get it
- LeonJune 17, 2025I thought it would be a horror movie at first—don’t ask me why—but it turned out way better than I anticipated. It was definitely worth watching. From my experience, there’s nothing I’d change or point out as a flaw. It honestly felt perfect to me.
- justi7607July 8, 2025A captivating masterful storyline and insightful cross blend of genres make it a suspenseful and darkly comic standout film. It was recently named New york times number 1 Film/Movie of the 21st century.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 11, 2025It really is very, very, very, good. It kind of felt like 6 films in one, delicately draped over each other along with the themes, emotions and perspectives. Superbly balanced. Highly recommended.
- ONEshotONEkil630July 6, 2025Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite isn’t just a film—it’s a statement. A razor-sharp dissection of class, capitalism, and the illusion of social mobility, delivered with dark humor, masterful direction, and a story that hooks you from the first frame. Like millions around the world, I was floored by its originality and tension. It’s one of the smartest, most stylish films I’ve seen—and I’d rate it a solid 4.5/5. The first two acts are near perfection. The way the Kim family infiltrates the Parks’ luxurious life is both hilarious and suspenseful, layered with biting social commentary that never feels preachy. The cinematography is meticulous, the symbolism rich, and the tone constantly shifting in a way that keeps you off balance—in the best way. Performances are phenomenal across the board. Every character feels lived-in and real, their motives believable, their flaws compelling. And the house—the central stage for the story’s unraveling—is practically a character itself, built to reflect the very system the film critiques. But then comes the ending. Without spoiling it, the third act takes a sharp, chaotic turn. Some viewers found it bold and thematically consistent, but for me, it felt overly grim and tonally jarring. The emotional impact was undeniable, but it also left me frustrated. It felt like the story abandoned some of its sharp wit for pure shock—and while that’s a valid artistic choice, it didn’t land with me personally. I wanted a more layered resolution, something that hit just as hard without being so bleak. Still, Parasite is an undeniable achievement. It made history for a reason, and it deserves all the praise it gets. Even with an ending I didn’t love, the journey there was so compelling, so richly crafted, that it more than earns its place among modern classics.
- Nathan MagretaJune 26, 2025Peak cinema. This film talks about a very realistic issue today in such a genius way, making this film a masterpiece.
- Himanshu SinghJune 14, 2025Amazing story!
- darsanJune 13, 2025for the first time ever i LOCKED IN and watched a korean film and GODDAMN this was AMAZINGG.
- RazorbitzFebruary 22, 2025I've seen a lot of Bong's other works before this one, and I'm still not decided if this is my favorite of his or not. Regardless, Parasite is a richly funny film that eases into the damp embrace of hate through layers of dramatic irony. I didn't know what I was getting into with this one despite hearing all its praises, but so brilliantly realized each moment is that despite many months passing from my first and only viewing I can replay entire scenes in my head like I witnessed it today. The glue of the film is the family the story revolves around, with each having such soul and wit to their performances and interfamilial dynamics that by the end of the film I only wanted to follow their stories; I shant go into too much more than my praise, as this film deserves all of it and more, but if you don't know how this one plays out, do so. My only gripe, and its a small one--the ending. I got what they were going for, but it didn't fully click with me even though it stuck with me and left me thinking a while after about it. You may feel differently of course, and either way its a modern classic for good reason. This one is definitely deserving a rewatch at some point, and maybe that ending will click better then.
- Ummm NOFebruary 7, 2025Amazing movie, so much fun and do different from anything I've seen. Can't reccomend enough
- RyezooFebruary 7, 2025Wow! Well acted, beautifully shot, and juggles so many different genres. This is an impressive film and the editing is also fantastic. Had no idea where this was going and it kept me very entertained and on the edge of my seat. Happy to see this pick up so many nominations!
- eiriganceJanuary 28, 2025Bong Joon-ho almost has a masterpiece in Parasite. Every human being is equal in this world & should be treated as such. I believe the "Parasites" in this deep & passionate world to be the family that's poverty stricken. They gracefully & deviously attach themselves to a host, but ultimately assume the role of God, showing they're no better. If life was fair everyone would have the same opportunities in life. Choices, circumstance & Integrity separate us & at the end of the day this movie shows that deep down we would choose to be unethical given the opportunity & maybe that's true...
