Rememory (2017)
An amateur sleuth steals a machine that can extract, record and
play the memories of another person, and uses the device to try and
solve the mysterious death of the man who invented it.
Intelligent sci-fi drama explores memory and its pitfalls slowly and skillfully revealing truth of a harrowing incident.
Knives Out (2019)
A detective investigates the death of a patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
Agatha Christie-like crime mystery, complete with a large cast of stars with little chance to show their talents, is nicely set and mildly entertaining, although the Trump-era allusions are so slight that they are hardly noticeable.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)
Full of misgivings, a young woman travels with her new boyfriend to his parents' secluded farm. Upon arriving, she comes to question everything she thought she knew about him, and herself.
Beautiful photography and set pieces, stellar performances and an increasingly surreal plot make this film an intriguing watch, although it asks more question than giving answers, and the ending is a bit disappointing.
