Well, one of these movies is now on Netflix here and the other was finally released in theaters (being an Oscar winner gave them the cover they needed to justify showing it I suppose), so here goes.
Barben-
Robbed of much of its impact by omnipresent memes
online. Not one single moment of this movie came as a surprise.
Thought the first 2/3 was pretty good actually,
nicely done satire that bites pretty deep, until the last third does away with
subtlety and starts pounding you over the head with it.

Man invents nuclear bomb and forever dooms humanity to live in the shadow of annihilation (not to mention guaranteeing tens of thousands of Japanese would never live in the shadow of nuclear annihilation) and later must suffer for it by, um, having his security clearance cancelled. But not to worry, the guy who blackballed Oppie also suffered a minor disappointment in his career.
Truly, all these results are equally
weighty. Karmic balance is achieved.
Meanwhile, the soundtrack attempts to perforate
your eardrums.
