ND/NF: Is This Anything?

Since I am banned from Twitter, I have limited access to the Cinephile Hive Mind (CHM)™️. So I have to put the question to you. Have any of you seen some of these New Directors films? I'm wondering whether any of them seem to be worth a $12 rental. What say you? Also, you can vote more than once. Thanks team.

With time, both Los Conductos and The Dove and the Wolf have both curdled for me. The former comes out of the gate strong but then wanders off into a pasture to die. The latter lingers on violence and women's bodies in increasingly uncomfortable ways. Don't know the other two at all.

For me, The Trouble with Being Born was everything that ND/NF should be (conceptually ambitious, challenging, in dialogue w contemporary cinema) whereas The Killing of Two Lovers was everything that it should not be (empty, thin story buoyed by self-conscious style). The Cloud in Her Room and Atlantis were other highlights.

Loved Los Conductos, hated The Trouble with Being Born, haven't seen the other two. Quite liked The Shepherdess and the Seven Songs.
