This is a masterpiece. Bong Joon-ho is a directorial genius. The first act makes you fall in love with the main characters and hope they overcome their circumstances. The second act pulls the rug out from under your feet and the third act blows the bloody doors off. Similarly to one of director Bong's previous films, Snowpiercer, this explores the themes of capitalism, wealth and class in such an elegantly visceral way that you can't help but love it, and appreciate that it was fully deserving of previously winning the Best Picture Oscar.
