Mr. Brooks (2007)
A well-respected businessman is sometimes controlled by his murder and mayhem-loving alter ego.
Satirical in intent, this serial killer tale packs far too many subplots into the mix making it implausible in any direction you choose to understand it: at least, William Hurt is obviously enjoying his part as the cynical alter ego.
Maltin**1/2: "Interesting ingredients, but a lumpy stew; sometimes laughably absurd."
Manbiki kazoku (2018)
A family of small-time crooks take in a child they find outside in the cold.
Subtle, humanist and touching drama of a patchwork outside family is portrayed as more loving and sincere than 'normal' families and plays out like a warmhearted inversion of Nagisa Ôshima's Shônen.
