Familie Kim ist ganz unten angekommen: Vater, Mutter, Sohn und Tochter hausen in einem grünlich-schummrigen Keller, kriechen für kostenloses W-LAN in jeden Winkel und sind sich für keinen Aushilfsjob zu schade. Erst als der Jüngste eine Anstellung als Nachhilfelehrer in der todschicken Villa der Familie Park antritt, steigen die Kims ein ins Karussell der Klassenkämpfe. Mit findigen Tricksereien, bemerkenswertem Talent und großem Mannschaftsgeist gelingt es ihnen, die bisherigen Bediensteten der Familie Park nach und nach loszuwerden. Bald schon sind die Kims unverzichtbar für ihre neuen Herrschaften. Doch dann löst ein unerwarteter Zwischenfall eine Kette von Ereignissen aus, die so unvorhersehbar wie unfassbar sind. (filmladen)

A brilliant South Korean effort that takes shots at class issues with unconventional grace while maintaining an incredibly funny detachment. In this respect, all the jokes and references to North Korea are extremely successful and cool. Plus, in terms of filmmaking, it's really very professional and in some ways even a hair more progressive than mainstream Hollywood. The self-conscious alternating of genres then becomes the icing on the cake, reminiscent of the earlier bright period of South Korean production. Its international renown is well deserved, as this is truly one of the best films of 2019.

It's been a long time since I've come across a script as original as this film. Parasite is an inscrutable darkly humorous social satire, tinged with the thriller genre, which at the same time skillfully hits the tastes of contemporary audiences. To the resonant sounds of evocative music from the Far East, I have an unwavering feeling that once again entertainment has merged with art, which is not something you see every day in the world of cinema. I won't beat around the bush, I simply had a tremendous amount of fun, and I definitely won't stop at just one viewing. (95%)

The moment we abandon the attempt of genre pigeonholing, which is not even possible, because Parasite has something of everything, this is mainly a proof that it is still possible to make a completely novel, unpredictable, funny, touching, but also at times chilling and shocking film. In a nutshell: an emotional roller coaster. The story gradually builds up and serves up such twists and turns that you will be left with your wits about them, and you won't even dare to guess what kind of finale it will lead you to – for me it is bittersweet.
