Movies like Mickey 17

“Mickey 17 (2025) is a 2020s near-future science fiction drama set aboard an orbital research habitat that stages labor as an ontological gamble. It centers a single ethical dilemma—contractual mortality—while deploying claustrophobic interiors and high-contrast chiaroscuro to make bureaucracy feel like a material force. The film ultimately frames commodified sacrifice as a test of personhood and insists that procedural demands can recalibrate notions of agency.”
