Winner of the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, "The Worst Ones" captures a film within a film as it follows the making of a feature whose director turns to the local housing project for casting. As the production team rehearse and interact with their hand-picked cast, jealousies are stoked, lines are crossed, and ethical questions arise.
