A razor-sharp social satire that, like Parasite, turns affluent manners and public virtue into escalating discomfort, balancing cringe comedy with an unsettling view of status.
Why this pick
This intimate portrait of a precarious makeshift family shares Parasite’s compassion for people living at society’s margins and its quietly devastating attention to economic inequality.
Why this pick
