Room (2015)
A young boy is raised within the confines of a small shed.
Congenial adaptation of Emma Donoghue's novel successfully recreates the painful transition from a closed-in environment to the "outer space" with intelligent direction and an excellent cast.
Regression (2015)
A detective and a psychoanalyst uncover evidence of a satanic cult while investigating the rape of a young woman.
Despite a good cast and the attempt to create some atmosphere this movie disappoints with an absurdly contrived plot and indecisive direction.

Der gute Göring (2016)
A docudrama about Albert Göring, the brother of Hermann Göring, who saved dozens of Jews from death during the Second World War.
A well-intentioned, solidly made docudrama about a lesser known historical episode of Nazi Germany, but with no surprising insights.
The Twilight Zone: Escape Clause (1959)
A hypochondriac man sells his soul to the devil, exchanging it for several thousand years of immortality.
Cleverly told Faustian tale with a sinisterly good twist ending.
