Movies That Will Make You Think (Too Much)
Sometimes you want to watch a movie and then immediately go to sleep. These are not those movies. These are the films that make your brain keep running after the credits. You will stare at the ceiling. You will Google one thing “just to be sure”. You will become the person who says “but what does it MEAN though?” in a group chat. If you wanted ‘easy’, you took a wrong turn. If you wanted ‘good’, you’re exactly where you should be.
The Picks
