Machtlos (2020)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
Two teachers. An obscure pair of parents. A boy they want to save at all costs. Germany, 1983: Unable to find an explanation for a pupil's strange behavior, teachers Christina and Robert pay a visit to the child's parents. But from the moment they enter the family home, they can't shake off this strange feeling. The feeling that something is wrong with this house - and the family.

Based on the age rating and content tags — not a full scene-by-scene list.
Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
