Finally saw "Parasite" this afternoon. [View all]

[Laffy Kat]

It was a cold and dreary day here and perfect for the cinema. It was one of the more unusual movies I've seen. A clever and dark comedy, heavier on the dark than the comedy. It was long, although I don't know what I would have edited out. It did get Tarantino-esque towards the end, but then I like QT. It was entertaining and political. I don't know if it was Best Picture worthy because I didn't see all of the nominees. It sure deserves loads of praise, though. It was a breath of non-Hollywood fresh air.

Of note, all of the characters were likeable in their own way; both the ultra-rich family and the poor but resourceful family had their endearing qualities.
