14. Advantageous

Much more of a true hidden gem is this, Jennifer Phang's Advantageous, a daring, adroit sci-fi drama released only this year in the US. It's a visually sleek experience, one which tackles age-old issues of social-class and opulence against it's technologically advanced background.

At the centre of the story are mother and daughter Gwen and Jennifer, a pair who refuse to let go of their happiness in a place of increasing economic instability.

The ending is particularly powerful (though in a different way to something like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers), and Advantageous' ruminations on issues of avarice and family set it apart from similar sci-fi fare. This one comes highly recommended.
