A good film but not best of the year

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2020)

Parasite tells a quite surreal story which could absolutely happen. The characters are realistic, I liked how nobody is a clear good guy or bad guy. On the other side maybe you need to be the part of Korean culture to fully appreciate it, but for me it didn't hold that emotional drama that many other viewers liked. It wasn't that funny in the comedic scenes, and other than the social cass divide which is seen in many other movies it wasnt really deep either. Overall a good movie, but did not deserve the oscars it got, especially considering Jojo Rabbit was another contender for best picture, and in my opinion blew out Parasite from the water in every regards
