This movie is really good and tells a story about a poor family who start working for a rich family. It all begins with the Kims, who don't have much money. There's the dad, the mom, a son, and a daughter. They're all looking for a way to make some cash. One day, the son gets a job tutoring a rich girl, and soon the whole family finds ways to get hired by her parents. The rich family, the Parks, live in a big fancy house and don't suspect a thing. The Kims pretend to be different people, like a housekeeper and a driver, and it's pretty fun watching them pull it off. Everyone in the family is easy to like. The dad is kind of tired but smart, the mom is good at keeping secrets, and the kids are quick thinkers. The Parks are nice too, just clueless about what's going on. The house they live in is cool, with lots of glass and open space, and it feels like a perfect place for the story.
At first, it's almost like a game. You're rooting for the Kims to trick the Parks and get away with it. The movie keeps you guessing about what's next. Will they get caught? How long can they keep this up? It's exciting to watch them figure things out step by step. Then something big happens. An old housekeeper comes back and knows something weird about the house. That's when everything changes. It stops being just a funny plan and gets serious fast. The families start fighting, and you see how different their lives really are. The movie shows how the Kims want what the Parks have, but it's not so easy to take it. Things get messy, and there's a big party scene where it all falls apart. People get hurt, and it's wild to see how far it goes. The ending is surprising and kind of sad, but it makes you think about what happened.
The characters are what make it work. You feel for the Kims because they're trying so hard, even if they're sneaky. The Parks are spoiled but not mean, so you don't hate them either. Everyone feels real, like people you could meet. The actors do a great job, especially the mom in the Kim family who's tough and quiet at the same time. The son is funny when he's pretending to be smart for the rich girl, and the daughter is cool with how she tricks everyone. The rich mom is spacey in a way that's almost sweet, and the dad just wants everything to be perfect. It's easy to care about all of them, even when they're doing crazy stuff.
The way the movie looks is nice too. The house is bright and clean, and the outside shots are pretty with trees and yards. It's not a fancy movie with tons of effects, but it doesn't need to be. The story keeps you hooked all on its own. It's fun, then scary, then sad, and you don't know what's coming next. It's about money and how people treat each other, but it's not boring or preachy. You just watch and enjoy it. When it's over, you want to talk about it because it's so good. It's one of those movies that's simple but sticks with you. Definitely worth seeing if you like a story that surprises you and makes you feel something.

Loads of good things in this but I thought it was messy visually if impressive. Story though was fun and I enjoyed it on the whole, just not as much as many others for some reason.
Evelyn's is middle-aged mess, drowning in laundromat receipts and a marriage to Waymond, who's too pure for her grump. Their daughter Joy is moody, looking for mothers's approval - and the IRS is breathing down their neck when Evelyn's zapped into a multiverse crisis: she's the key to stopping a void-sucking force tied to Joy, of all people. It's a bonkers explosion from there - she's kung-fu kicking with a fanny pack in one world, a hibachi chef in another, dodging a bagel that ends everything. The rules are wild and as I said a bit too wild: jump universes by eating ChapStick or confessing love, fight with googly eyes or sausage fingersit's a fever dream of hot dog hands and a raccoon puppeteer riffing on Ratatouille. Evelyn's every version shines - rockstar, martial artist and Michelle Yeoh plays her with a snarl! Joy's the heartbreaker, her multiverse self a nihilist in a tux shredding reality, but her real pain's just a kid wanting to be seen. Waymond's the glue, his dorky kindness a lifeline. His "I'd love you in every universe" speech is great.
Family fights across dimensions, tax stress meets cosmic stakes, and a quiet scene with laundry and tears is emotional.
Chaos and heart in a blender. Insane, messy, and pretty good all round entertainment for a couple of hours.

This is a family reunion turned slow-motion train wreck, all packed into a tight 80 minutes that feel like a pressure cooker about to blow.
Krisha's the black sheep, a woman in here 60s who's been gone for years-booze, pills, broken promises-now showing up at her sisters place for Thanksgiving with a turkey and a shaky promise to make things right. She's jittery from the jump, all forced smiles and nervous hands, popping pills in the bathroom while the family-nephews, brothers-in-law, her own estranged son-circle her like she's a live grenade. The house is chaos kids hollering, dogs barking, relatives trading barbs, and Krisha's trying to cook this bird like it's her redemption song. But you can tell-she's fraying, her voice cracking when she talks to her son, Trey, who barely looks at her, his resentment thick as the gravy she's botching.
Shot on a low budget, it's got this home-movie feel-handheld cameras, tight shots, everyone talking over each other-but that messiness is the point; it's like you're stuck at the table with them. The cast is mostly non-actors, real family and friends of the director, and it shows in how natural the awkwardness feels-Uncle So-and-So's dumb jokes, the sister's passive-aggressive digs. Krisha herself, played by Krisha Fairchild, is the storm center-wild-eyed, fragile, a woman who wants forgiveness but keeps tripping over her own mess.
The tension builds slow: a dropped dish, a slurred word, then she's sneaking wine, and you're begging her to hold it together. When it all explodes-yelling, tears, a turkey hitting the floor-it's ugly and real, not some Hollywood blowout.
The sound design's a beast, all clanging pots and droning music that ramps up the dread. It's not a feel-good flick; it's a gut-twist, a peek at addiction and regret through a cracked lens.
Small budget or not, it's fierce-raw acting, tight editing, and a story that claws at you long after the credits roll.
I liked it!
