One of the better movies I've seen lately is German suspense movie "Balloon". Although released in Germany in 2018, it was released more recently in the US.
Directed by Michael Herbig, the editing and pacing are very good as is the excellent background music. Actress Caroline Schuch anchors as the mother "Doris" giving perhaps the most authentic performace, though all actors do well. The balloon scenes are technically done satisfactorily, though best is the torment and anguish the family feels from the regime fueling their desire. The atmosphere of dialog of control and subtle oppression is underscored. 8/10
