another way too overated film

Rating: 1/10 (11 February 2020)

First off the film is half and hour too long, most of the dialogue is simplistic and repetitive. how it won best screenplay is beyond me. the film has no heart or soul, we do not care for the poor family, as they are all self serving, uninteresting and as the title says parasites. they go from bumbling incompetents to master con artists, as other have pointed out the rich family are presented as really stupid, unaware of what is happening around them. the ending was just silly and implausible, mind you most of the film was like that. like shape of water, roma and others the film seems to have hoodwinked critics and audiences alike into believing that this is some form of great social comment and insight. IT IS NOT whilst it is good that a film from Korea has won the plaudits this has, it is also very indicative of the times that everyone has read into the film, when really what they are seeing is just not there
