Was it worthy of an Oscar?

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2020)

I haven't left a review on here for ages, but I thought I would have to say something about 'Parasite' as I had to see it on the big screen following it's Oscar win. I had expected 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' ,'The Irishman' or 'Joker' to win best picture or maybe 'Marriage Story' as the outsider.
When 'Parasite' won, it was a shock, but I was glad that a foreign film had won an Oscar even though I had not seen the film. It had to be a great piece to get an Oscar, so I was keen to see it. I saw the film yesterday and have to admit that it was a good film, however I don't believe that it should have been an Oscar winner against the others, it certainly was not a better film than any of the others I have mentioned.
The first half was good, a good black comedic story about envy, scams, can't say any more without spoilers. The second half it drifted into being really silly and became a farce as the script became more and more unbelievable. It is a film that has to be seen, so it is worth the price of a ticket. Maybe I was expecting too much of it!
I am giving it a 7/10, but it could have been a 10/10 had they kept it real.
