01
Promising Young Woman
Why this pick
Like The Columnist, it turns a woman’s accumulated anger at misogyny into a sharply stylised, darkly comic revenge story, balancing discomfort, bite and escalating moral unease.

02
God Bless America
Why this pick
This is a similarly caustic vigilante satire about a person pushed past endurance by a cruel media culture, with deadpan violence used to expose social ugliness.
03
The Loved Ones
Why this pick
For The Columnist’s blend of pitch-black comedy, gendered menace and sudden violence, this offers a more horror-forward but equally stylish and uncomfortable descent.
04
Sick of Myself
Why this pick
Its merciless Scandinavian satire of attention-seeking and public cruelty shares The Columnist’s uncomfortable comic tone and fascination with the destructive feedback loop of visibility.
05
The Invitation
Why this pick
Though less comic, its controlled pacing and intimate psychological tension suit the uneasy, escalating atmosphere of The Columnist, as a damaged protagonist confronts mounting threat.
