‘Parasite’ is a Perfect Shock to the System

Legit my reaction during the back-half of the film.

FYI: This is a spoiler-free review. (That’s hard to do for this film, so forgive my vagueness here.)

I’m late to this party, but to be fair, I hadn’t heard much at all about writer/director Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite until the past month. Then I saw it pop up on everyone’s year-end Best lists — and even a few decade-end Best lists — and that’s something I can’t ignore.
