Completely original

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2019)

There's a lot to Parasite. A very complex story, only a few sets, but dozens of strands.
In some ways, it's a very good film. For example, the imagery is outstanding. Also, it's one of the most original films I have ever seen. I never guessed what was going to happen next. I was completely surprised remarkably often. Bit this also brings with it a negative. So much happens that the film started to drag for me. I noticed I was getting restless and was genuinely grateful when the film ended.
The acting is good for the most part, but occasionally reaches theatrical heights, which felt tonaly wrong.
Overall, I'm glad I watched it.
