Under the Sun
This is a Swedish film, and the plot is familiar: a lonely farmer advertises for a housekeeper. What complicates things is that the farmer, played by Rolf Lassgard, has a friend. Perhaps predictably, the friend just doesn't fit into the new arrangements. But he's fascinating. What's so great about this film are the performances. They're all great and compelling to watch. I really enjoyed this.
Sharp Objects
Loved this. I thought it was so well done. The latter half of the miniseries had me on the edge of my seat at all times. It all seemed to so terribly, horribly, impossibly creepy and I found that I was completely frightened and confused by the twist ending even though I should have anticipated it. I found it quite dark, and found that it lingered in the back of my mind for days after watching it, so I really think it's not for everyone. Although I would not describe this as horror, I would say that if you don't like horror, or if you're a sensitive viewer, you should perhaps skip this.
