Our take
The Platform 2 returns to a vertical prison where food descends floor by floor. You get starvation cruelty, assaults, blood, constant f-word language, and a woman tied naked to the platform as punishment. Suicide is named as a choice that would doom others. Harsh social horror. Older teens and adults only
Story (may spoil tone)
After a mysterious leader imposes his law in a brutal system of vertical cells, a new arrival battles against a dubious food distribution method.

Talk after watching
- The system forces people to choose who eats. What does that do to empathy?
- Punishment includes public nudity. Why is humiliation used as control?
