    You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan at all.

    Wow. What a masterpiece. I’m glad that I saw this before the Oscars ceremony this evening; I hope that the Academy recognises the brilliance of this film. It’s going straight into my top ten of all time and it might move even higher after a rewatch. Bong Joon-ho is a genius.

    Excuse the bad pun, but Parasite is infectious in many regards. It is…

    ★★★

    Jessica Rothe turns in a breathtaking performance that manages to elevate an otherwise fairly generic and on the nose script.

    Harry Shum Jr. offers an inconsistent performance - at times great, at others average.

    Some nice song selections and a couple of interesting cinematography choices. An overall heartfelt, emotional and tragic story. Rothe tries her hardest to pull you in, but the script is so painstakingly cliche and average at times that a lot of emotional beats don't land. The…
