Parasite was miles ahead of 2019’s other class warfare movies. Its message was more powerful: That when you try to beat capitalism at its own game, you’ll always shed more blood of the working class than the elite

Tina had lived in the city at least 15 years (that's how long she was at her previous job), she would know what an Italian beef is. This city is segregated, but not so segregated that an "Italian" sandwich would be so foreign of a concept

Knives Out had the weakest critique, despite its star power. It changed the players, but not the game. Ready Or Not was more straightforward (& therefore potentially more cathartic) in its viciousness, but its critique felt more one-dimensional
