Heh, there's also mumblecore, which sounds even more like a music genre (slowcore always comes to mind)

by chance have you read the book the film is based on?
also in case you have not heard of it please add The Congress to your list....you'll love it  |
Ah yes, the soundtrack is great. No, I haven't read the book, I didn't even know there was one. So how would you compare the two? Is the film its own thing?
I've heard of The Congress, but haven't seen it yet. Will go on my watchlist. This is what I've seen so far (I'm including just sci-fi, maybe some borderline cases, and mostly from the last 5 or so years):
Coherence (very, very good)
10 Cloverfield Lane (pretty good)
Under the Skin (great)
Spring (this was disappointing)
Time Laps (ok)
Synchronicity (eh ok, the idea is better than the execution; I loved the noir feel)
Enemy (not really sci-fi, but can be interpreted; very good)
I Origins (good)
Upstream Color (great)
Chronicle (more superhero, but pretty good)
Ex Machina (great)
Uncanny (similar to Ex Machina, but not as good; still better than I expected)
Another Earth (very good)
Sound of My Voice (I enjoyed this even more)
The Signal (this was going strong in wtf department, but then became too actiony)
The Lobster (very interesting)
Beyond the Black Rainbow (the best of the bunch for me, that wouldn't nearly be so great without the amazing soundtrack. Like in Under the Skin, the sound is really complementing the picture)
Phew! I have a feeling I'm forgetting some. Suggestions appreciated.
