For sure, do see it. I'd never attempt to dissuade anyone from seeking it out; if one's tired of typical Hollywood offerings, Parasite certainly works as counter-programming. It's just that I honestly believe the filmmaker has done better in the past, and the praised heaped upon it doesn't match what I saw onscreen. Anyway, nevermind my opinion - it's utterly in the minority.
