Movies like Athena

“Athena (2022) is a French 2020s action-thriller that uses a family crisis to stage a wider social rift. It frames three siblings' unraveling after their brother's unexplained death in high-contrast chiaroscuro and kinetic, close-up staging to emphasize decisions over answers. The film argues that grief can catalyze moral fracture and public suspicion, making familial allegiance a test of civic trust.”
