- Excerpt: Cinematographer Kyung-pyo Hong’s (“Mother”) camera often pans in a vertical motion, emphasizing the upstairs downstairs elements of Bong’s story… one of the year’s most entertaining movies.

- Excerpt: Bong Joon-ho’s black comedy Parasite is a masterfully-told allegory with deeper insights lurking beneath the surface inviting further study and conversation.
- Richard Gray @ The Reel Bits
- Excerpt: Bong Joon-ho draws on his considerable talents to explore the divide between rich and poor. A film you’ll be digesting for a while, before planning to see it again. But you know what they say about plans…
- Roxana Hadadi @ Pajiba
- Excerpt: Bong Joon Ho’s Cannes winner ‘Parasite’ is a fantastically dark, horrendously bleak portrait of classist indoctrination
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: The events are so unpredictable that they seize our attention. It’s intriguing to see what occurs next.
