Roger Ebert

The second half of “Parasite” is one of the most daring things I’ve seen in years narratively.

NPR

It's a movie of extraordinary cunning and devastating emotional power, and after three viewings I'm still not sure quite how to classify it.

The first hour or so of 'Parasite' is simply the most dazzling movie about the joys of the con I’ve seen in years.

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.

Vulture

What keeps you rapt in Parasite is the visual wit — every shot distills the movie’s themes.

Variety

"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."

IndieWire

The giddy, brilliant, and totally unclassifiable "Parasite" proves that Bong Joon Ho has become a genre unto himself.
