of its cast, [and] the wit of its stylish director, who brings his
richest storytelling instincts to bear on the material."--p.p1

"A social satire of almost breathless audacity, a three-dimensional
chess game of Darwinian one-upmanship that is by turns hilarious,
terrifying, and brutal."--Boston Globe
"A spicy genre guacamole with a social commentary that speaks to
all of us... the brilliance and uniqueness of Parasite
resides not only in the fact that it blends genres seamlessly, but
that each sequence, scene, camera angle and performance is
incredibly precise."--p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font:
