The Square (2017)
📌 Available on Hulu and Prime Video and Apple TV🛡️ Adults 18+
📖 Story
A curator's carefully constructed life fractures when a theft at the museum forces him to confront uncomfortable truths about himself and the society he inhabits. The Square becomes both literal and metaphorical—a space where art, ethics, and human decency collide with devastating consequences. What begins as a quest to restore order devolves into a searing examination of privilege and the masks we wear to survive in a world built on illusions.
