Films and TV shows that feel like XS by Rina Sawayama
A swaggering, hyper‑confident anthem that revels in excess while simultaneously mocking the glittering façade of consumer culture.
- American Psychopath (2025): A satirical, ultra‑stylised look at wealth, image‑obsession and violent excess that mirrors the song’s critique of glossy consumerism.
- The Wolf of Wall Street (2013): Shows the intoxicating allure of money‑driven hedonism and the hollow triumph of over‑the‑top excess.
- Parasite (2019): Explores class disparity and the desperate yearning for the luxurious lifestyle the song flaunts and questions.
- The Great Gatsby: Midnight in Manhattan (2000): A visual feast of opulent parties and the illusion of wealth, echoing the track’s glittering yet critical tone.
- Billions (2016): A high‑stakes world of finance, ego, and power plays that reflects the song’s aggressive confidence and capitalist commentary.
- Euphoria (2019): Captures the neon‑lit, excess‑driven lives of youth, with a soundtrack that feels as bold and glossy as "XS".
- Ready Player One (2018): A neon‑saturated world of virtual excess and pop‑culture excess that aligns with the song’s maximalist aesthetic.
