There have been lots of stories of people at events where they don't fit in, but Miguel Arteta's "Beatriz at Dinner" still bears watching. In this case, the outcast is a massage therapist who has dinner with a rich family, witnessing the rich people talk about empty and sometimes evil things.
There's a hint of magical realism in the movie (the beginning and end). But most important is the movie's look at how development has affected people's livelihoods in the Third World, in particular Latin America. Of course, Beatriz finds the divide between rich and poor just as apparent in the US by having dinner at this house.
A fine movie in every way.
