7. The Room Next Door

This entry is from one of the most accomplished directors, Pedro Almodovar, and hence it has to be an in-your-face tale. Starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton where the two become a pact as one of them is suffering from cancer.

The story takes you through many feelings, once uplifting all your spirits and then churning your soul with the innermost anxieties about death. The Room Next Door is about legacy, fate, and a lot of things.

8. The Substance 

Coming to the top three movies in our list, The Substance stars Demi Moore, and Margaret Qualley as its lead. Being directed by Coralie Fargeat, the feature happens to be a perfect take on the topic of body dysmorphia. 

This entry is the one that the world needs in present times. From telling you what fame looks like up close and personal, the movie then starts expressing how you can lose it all within no time. The Substance talks about emotion, which will frustrate you over the real world, while also scare you about how having no control over yourself, and not embracing reality could have harmful consequences in a way one can never imagine.

9. A Different Man

Coming from the brilliant imagination of Aaron Schimberg, A Different Man happens to be a mind-bending dark comedy. The tale talks about an aspiring actor, who undergoes a medical procedure that drastically transforms him, giving him a new look. However, the entry talks in depth about how you should be careful what you wish for.

Although this sounds very similar to what The Substance portrays, both the entries have their own perks.  A Different Man stars Sebastian Stan, Renate Reinsve, as well as Adam Pearson.

 

10. The Brutalist 

Coming to the end of our list, it has to be The Brutalist. The movie is directed by Brady Corbet, who has perfectly talked about the story of a Hungarian architect named Lázsló Tóth played by Adrien Brody who comes to the USA during the end days of World War II.
