I don’t know about Jane Schoenbrun‘s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (Thursday at 8:30 am) or the 1 pm follow-up, Diego Luna‘s Ashes (Niza en la Boca), although reviews of the Luna have been pretty good so far.
But I’m fairly certain that Pawel Pawlikowsky‘s Fatherland (4:45 pm) will be some kind of monochrome smarthouse knockout**, and that Asghar Farhadi‘s Parallel Tales (6:45 pm) will, at the very least, register as moderately impressive.

** Sandra Huller‘s performance as Erika Mann, daughter of novelist Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler), is already being touted as a Best Actress contender. How do I know this? Because Huller will soon be interviewed by THR‘s Scott Feinberg at the Campari Lounge, which is located in “the bunker.”
