#HungerNetflix 4/5 ⭐️
Aesthetically pleasing, with some social undertones.
Expected acting from Chutimon, after Bad Genius and Happy Old Year.

The Thai film “Hunger” on Netflix is a gripping and thrilling drama. It is a simple film with a pretty simple message but it still leaves a strong impression.

I reviewed the Thai thriller HUNGER, which is now on Netflix. Visually stunning and supported by strong performances, the theme of what do we truly hunger for carries throughout. Would pair well with The Menu. https://t.co/8syO3KLi6e

#Hunger tackles capitalism and identity crisis with rugged culinary inventiveness. Kitchen politics and the dog-eat-dog-world aside, Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying made me crave for some ‘crybaby noodles.’ #Netflix #Thai #ServeTheRich pic.twitter.com/IbOnj30ouk
