Monster (怪物)

2023 Drama Mystery Coming Of Age Psychological Netflix

A mother thinks her son is being bullied by his teacher. The teacher thinks he is trying to protect his student. The student has a secret that neither adult has guessed. Kore-eda Hirokazu tells the same events three times from different perspectives, and each version reframes what preceded it. The Palme d'Or winner for Best Screenplay — a film about how completely we misread children and each other.
