Parasite (2019) - 5/5

This is an outstanding film with lots of fascinating subtlety. The cinematography is not only gorgeous but also conveys more about the characters. It has a great musical score that emphasizes the underlying themes and deftly ramps up a creeping sense of dread. The film seems less interested in making a socio-economic statement than it is with crafting a tight thriller that captures audience attention from start to finish.

Closest comparison: It’s the infiltration of The Departed (2006) in the guise of High and Low (1963).

Setting: Family Drama
Plot: Infiltration Heist
Tone: Thriller
