Every so often the Oscars get it right: a movie comes along that is so good and unique; it ends up winning a whole bunch of awards while everyone is scratching their heads wondering why they never heard of it before. For this year’s Academy Awards, Parasite was that film, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film. So, is it as good as everyone says it is? You bet. The story of a poor family that schemes its way into becoming servants for a wealthy one, Parasite has it all: comedy, drama, razor-sharp social commentary and suspense. Writing these reviews I’ve come to realize that it’s best to not say much about the film itself sometimes: you can easily spill too much about the story and spoil the fun. What you need to know is this: you’ve never quite seen anything like it before and it deserves every award it has won. Check it out.
