Here’s my “Quick and Dirty Review” of “Parasite.”
A very good film. Not a great film, not best of the year, not best of the decade. Tells a very small story well, but I kept waiting for things to head in a different direction. While the acting and cinematography were outstanding, this just didn't feel like it was on the same level for me as other 2019 films like "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" or "Joker," which was crammed from beginning to end with excellent acting. I'd say this movie was good, interesting, and the least amount of fun I've had watching a film since "Marriage Story." Still need to watch "1917" to round out my 2019 nominated films--maybe that one will be a real pick-me-up too. 7 out of 10.
