If The Lives of Others hit the spot, these will too

Both land stillness and tension at once

Two things both keep coming back to: cold war and soviet union

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Tense thriller in both cases

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Thriller with a pulse of tension, in both cases

The drama is handled with the same confidence



Thriller of the same temperament

Both are built on the same subject: cold war

One thread runs through both: espionage
