If you loved The Third Murder, try Monster
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Mystery territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Third Murder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Monster is
A Tokyo classroom, rain-soaked windows, a child's cry. A single mother confronts teachers, a son's behavior unravels, a community's facade cracks. Kore-eda probes the shadows of family life.
