I’m going to say the same thing as every other film critic this weekend: Go see Parasite. It’s brilliant, it’s funny, it’s chilling and it’s playing on like five screens at the Varsity this weekend so you can be reasonably sure of getting a ticket. But if you’ve already seen it. or you’re uneasy in a crowded auditorium, there are some other movies opening today as well.
But go see Parasite.
April in Autumn: Sisters reconnect, make each other miserable.
By the Grace of God: Francois Ozon tackles Catholic abuse, trauma.
Greener Grass: Suburban satire seems slightly superficial, somehow.
The King: Uneasy is the Chalamet, something something.
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil: Angelina Jolie gets all horned up again.
Parasite: Best movie of the year? Possibly.
The River You Step In: Toronto gentrification drama asks questions, lingers. [Rad]
Zombieland: Double Tap: Wasn’t expecting much. Kinda liked it.
I also reviewed Netflix’ Living with Yourself and HBO’s Watchmen, because this is what I do and “free time” is an illusion.
Watchmen‘s pretty great, though. Premieres on Sunday night, so you have plenty of time to catch Parasite first.
