Movies like Frank and Penelope

“Frank and Penelope (2022) is an American 2020s neo-noir-tinged psychological-thriller that stages predatory intimacy within a run-down strip-club interior. Its central conflict — a failing man’s wager on a salvific but dangerous liaison — is made legible through chiaroscuro lighting, tactile grain and claustrophobic interior framing. The film insists that desire can function as an instrument of identity reconstruction while leaving moral reconciliation unresolved.”
