Woman in Gold (2015)

Maria Altmann, an octogenarian Jewish refugee, takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family.

A compelling story is given a rather leaden, unimaginative treatment despite its excellent cast, among them as always a great Helen Mirren.

Destroyer (2018)

A police detective reconnects with people from an undercover assignment in her distant past in order to make peace.

Dark, intense, downward spiral of an undercover cop is skillfully revealed in slow bits and with a twist ending; Nicole Kidman delivers a remarkably terrifying performance as the downtrodden cop.
