It'd hard to rate this movie because it feels so different, like it shouldn't be rated or categorized. One hell of a ride, and one you can keep thinking, theorizing and analyzing afterwards.

Es una perfecta exposición de la naturaleza de una relación parasita traída a la sociedad, la exposición de los personajes es buena y la locura dentro del final fue impecable.

Went into this not knowing what to expect. Absolutely blown away by the rollercoaster this film takes you on. A masterpiece from first frame to last.

for ages i wondered what the hype was about until i invested time in watching, no regrets other than i should have done it sooner. a film with an excellent use of the age-old literary devices of symbols and motifs to make prominent an already great premise. very well deserving of its oscar

Such horrific and realism in a film is hard to pull off but this movie does that without loosing the core of the film about the horror of having people (maids, butlers) live in your house.

I mean reading the subtitles for that long have me a headache but overall pretty good. Positives: - Really showed the true side of the class system. - So suspenseful all the way through! - The ending where he comes out of hiding and just shoots everyone?! - Class system as in: The family that overthrows the other family works for them, and decides they have had enough of living in poverty while they live in wealth. Negatives: - Slow at the beginning building up to them finally getting into the house. - Not annoying, but the subtitle gave me a headache. - I liked it, but I do not want to watch it all of the time. Overall: 4 out of 5 Stars

Well, I finally understand the hype surrounding this film. The familial interactions, the fraud, even the comedy; the thrill of it all was so immense. I don’t know much about Korean culture, but this film presented it in a way that could easily be enjoyed by anyone from anywhere in the world. I was sitting at a 9/10 for the majority of this film, but the ending does SO MUCH to tie this story into a nice bow and end the film in a tragic but hopeful way. This film is very unique, and I’d love to see more projects like it in the future.

I thought the movie was good. It's a bit weird. The first half is a comedy and the second half is a horror film. It definitely has some interesting themes explored around morality, ethics, and socio-economic classes. I enjoyed the movie and thought it was good, but I think it was heavily overhyped, and a bit overrated. I wouldn't call it the best movie ever, but definitely an interesting watch.

Watch it, tell you grandchildren about it some day, this Korean movie should be the pride and joy of the movie industry. It was probably in the short life's of best movies in my books.

I wasn’t crazy about it as much as others. I get it’s masterful in its technique; full of metaphors and foreshadowing and all that. And visually encapsulating. Not sure the final act worked for me. Need to watch again probably.

Terechte Oscar winnaar. Verhaal als een ui: heel veel laagjes. Doordat het een film uit Korea is zit ie vol met frisse ideeën en referenties, echt de moeite waard.

Watched it before it won the Oscar. This was my first movie from Korean cinema and I am glad to have seen this

FINALLY I got around to watching this. It was SO GOOD. I had no idea what it was about going into it, with low risk it was super high-brow and not interesting. Great plot line with twists and turns. Totally beautifully filmed with stunning eye for shots. Music was excellent - loved the juxtaposition of calming classical music over total chaos. Gives a real flavour of Korean life - from the food, down to the architecture and cities.
