'Joker' (2019)
Joker is a compelling, character-driven, psychological tale that has a message behind the madness.

Sierra, a teenage sociopath, is consumed by incurable boredom, driving her to experiment with intimacy and violence in search of something that finally makes her feel. Her restlessness only worsens when her naive cousin, Tess, pulls her beyond the safe confines of the suburbs and into a world filled with similarly angsty young adults. Sierra is convinced she can handle whatever the outside world throws at her, but her father isn’t so sure—and neither of them truly knows who’s right.

One Night in Miami... did not frame the racism and bigotry as something that could be solved by quality time spent between individuals. Instead, it featured four different legends of Black History together in one room disagreeing for about 2/3 of the film.
Crazy Rich Asians. The title is tacky, but the actual movie is both heartwarming and cosmopolitan. After all, it takes place in Singapore!
