While speaking at a rally in Colorado Springs for his re-election campaign, Donald Trump suddenly began ranting about Parasite. The most ridiculous part? He openly admitted that he hasn’t even seen the film.

The brilliance of this Bong Joon-Ho film is that it can be enjoyed on two levels. On the surface, it’s a fun, funny and exciting film about a poor family scamming a rich one. But behind the funny lines, exciting tone and suspenseful beats lie a chilling and dark commentary about the way our society is built. Parasite is pure unadulterated Bong from start to finish — funny, suspenseful, unabashedly weird, bloody, manic and powerful. Not to mention, it has one of, if not the best montage sequence I’ve ever been lucky enough to bear witness to.
