The Witch (2016)
A24 is dominating the field when it comes to providing audiences with some of the most unique and intense cinematic experiences in modern times. The Witch was originally supposed to be a Netflix original, which then got picked up by A24 when Netflix tried to change the original script to fit a more traditional horror movie theme, which included modernizing the time period. The Witch isn't flashy, it's not high octane, but it is supremely emotionally engaging and particularly disturbing.
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
This was one of the most ambitious movies of 2017, heck, it might be one of the most ambitious movies of all time. Sorry to Bother You is a movie about socioeconomic class struggles, interpersonal strain, the racial divide in the workplace, and the ethics of forced labor environments through late capitalism. Yeah, there are some other conversations in this movie too, but it makes its direction well known from the beginning on, and the actor performances are by far some of the best from 2018. You should watch this movie if you don't want to be turned into a horse.
