As a movie that caters to the Western audience, Styx provides an interesting avenue through which viewers who live with privilege and luxuries are able to encounter the complexities of forced migration through the eyes of Rike. I don't necessarily believe that this film depicts a story of a white hero but rather it is the director's attempt at capturing the experiences of forced migrants without hindering its important nuances and sentiments with his own biases. If you appreciate films that convey thought-provoking messages, then you will definitely enjoy Styx!
