Netflix recently released the sci-fi horror film The Platform – a visceral, brutal gut-punch of a film that works as social commentary as well. It’s a scathing critique of everything wrong with society and the distribution of wealth through the allegory of a vertical prison where only those on top get to eat. The film had some truly insightful, albeit bleak reflections on how humans are wired.
