Parasite (2019)

A father, mother, and their two college-aged kids are living in a basement apartment, barely scraping by with odd jobs. The son is recommended for a tutoring job by a friend and, even though he needs to fake credentials to apply, it's the recommendation that lands him the gig. He has soon recommended his sister as an "art therapist" for his employer's young son. She, in turn, recommends her father as driver and he recommends his wife as housekeeper. So, the entire family (while hiding their relationship to each other) is now being fully supported by another family. But then the former housekeeper shows up to claim something she left in the basement and the employers, due to rain, come back in hours from what was supposed to be a weekend trip, and their sweet situation turns sour.

I was really enjoying the subterfuge because, really, these con artists simply conned themselves into employment that they were, to all appearances, performing well. The only ones who were cheated seemed to be the former employees who were pushed out unfairly. But, just as in that Dick Van Dyke Show episode where Rob & Laura accidentally hear their neighbors discussing them, the patriarch of the working family cannot get past what he overhears his employers say.

It's a surprising film.
