Parasite Review – A Mesmerising Indictment Of Western Capitalism

It feels like we’re on the precipice of huge change right now. I can’t truly justify that (I’m a film student, not a politician), but the amount of anger and vitriol and injustice in the world right now must be coming to a head soon.
