Tiger King (2020)
An exploration of big cat breeding and its bizarre underworld, populated by eccentric characters.
Basically, this is an exploitative Reality TV-style documentary series, which is hardly interested in the animal rights' angle of the story and rather takes a voyeuristic pleasure in presenting its wildly eccentric (and dangerous) characters; however, that's the point holding one's attention throughout, and somehow you're constantly reminded of the current resident in the White House.

Systemsprenger (2019)
On her wild quest for love, 9-year-old Benni's untamed energy drives everyone around her to despair.
Relentlessly realistic and precise analysis od a so-called "system crasher", an unmanageable and violent child leaving all attempts to civilize her futile; at times almost unbearable to watch, also due to Helena Zengel's utterly convincing performance.

The Fall, Season 3 (2016)
Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson has arrested Paul Spector - but will he survive the gunshot wounds? Will he ever face justice?
The third season concludes the series in likewise excellent quality in atmosphere, production and performances and simply goes a bit more into depth on its characters; however, the actual ending is unexpected and rather illogical to what we have learnt so far.

Ouija (2014)
A group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears when they awaken the dark powers of an ancient spirit board.
Not particularly imaginative supernatural horror movie has some atmosphere, but relies on genre cliches and the usual jump scares.
