'6 Balloons' (2018)
In "6 Balloons," a woman named Katie is forced to be her brother's caretaker against her will. Seth is hopelessly addicted to heroin, and Katie's only hope for his recovery is to find a facility that would admit him. However, this turned out to be far more difficult than she anticipated.
'Barry' (2016)
"Barry" is not your typical biopic of Barack Obama, the former President of the U.S. Rather of focusing on Barack's early political career or successes as commander-in-chief, this coming-of-age story concentrates on his college years, during which he develops the abilities and charisma that would later propel him to success.

'Mindhorn' (2017)
"Mindhorn" is a great enjoyable blend of action and Hollywood satire. Julian Barratt gives a strong performance as the titular character, a washed-up former star of a cult action television series. When Mindhorn becomes involved in a real murder mystery involving some of his show's top supporters, he has turned into a true hero.
'Okja' (2017)
"Okja" is an imaginative film that simultaneously excites and invigorates while also tugging at the heartstrings. The film follows Mija, a young girl, on her quest to safeguard Okja, a genetically modified pig she has raised since piglethood and who has been shipped to the U.S. to be processed for food. The film challenges public perceptions of the meat industry and major corporations. This movie, however, has a fantastic combination of action, mystery, and drama.

'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' (2018)
"The Ballad of Buster Scruggs" is a vignette-style tale set in the post-Civil War era, in which a sharp-shooting songster, an ambitious bank robber, two traveling performers, a gold prospector, and a pioneering woman all watch their fates steadily careen towards one another.

'The Polka King' (2018)
"The Polka King" is based on the true story of Jan Lewan, the leader of a polka band who became a legend not for his musical abilities, but for his charisma. Instead, Jan's skill is in persuading gullible individuals to invest in his band - so many people that it quickly becomes a massive Ponzi scam that encircles all aspects of his life.
