What films made in the last 5 or 10 years have you seen this year?
What's "new"/"newish" is up to each person to decide. I've decided to list films I saw in 2020 that imdb says were released no earlier than 2016, so any films 2016-2020.
If you classify any film made between 2010-2020 as being new, then that's up to you.

Re: New(ish) Films you've seen in 2020
I'll do 2015-2020...I've watched a lot more new(ish) stuff this year than I typically do, but I think that's mostly a result of quarantine. Not including re-watches.
I really liked these:
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (Charlie Kaufman, 2020)
Bacarau (Kleber Mendonca Filho, Juliano Dornelles, 2019)
I Am Not Your Negro (Raul Peck, 2016)
Claire's Camera (Hong Sang-Soo, 2017)
Under the Silver Lake (David Robert Mitchell, 2018)
The Party (Sally Potter, 2017)
Notes on Blindness (Pete Middleton, James Spinney, 2016)
I thought these were decent/good:
One Cut of the Dead (Shinichiro Ueda, 2017)
Da Five Bloods (Spike Lee, 2020)
De Palma (Noah Baumbach, Jake Paltrow, 2015)
Field Niggas (Khalik Allah, 2015)
Eighth Grade (Bo Burnham, 2018)
What Did Jack Do (David Lynch, 2017)
Knives Out (Rian Johnson, 2019)
The Assistant (Kitty Green, 2019)
Dog Eat Dog (Paul Schrader, 2016)
The Death of Stalin (Amando Iannucci, 2017)
Fine/Not Quite Sold On These:
Knife + Heart (Yann Gonzalez, 2018)
Dark (Paul Schrader, 2017)
Sword of Trust (Lynn Shelton, 2019)
The Lure (Agnieszka Smoczynska, 2015)
Palm Springs (Max Barbacow, 2020)
Cop Car (Jon Watts, 2015)
I think I managed to see nothing I actively disliked. So that's a huge win.

RBG (Cohen, West, 2018) 7/10 documentary
Rebecca (Wheatley, 2020) 5 - Beautiful to look at, but it turned out to be just a bit of fluff. A universe away from Hitchcock's version.
Borat 2 (Woliner, 2020) 4 - Borat is not so funny, he's only got the one joke, but that singalong he does with the redneck crowd... wow! scary!

MY BROTHER'S NAME IS ROBERT AND HE IS AN IDIOT (Philip Gröning, 2018)
https://letterboxd.com/film/my-brothers ... -an-idiot/
It lasts for 3 hours (covering 3 days). I watched it 3 days with several gaps during which I watched some other films. Out of them, the closest in the mood to MY BROTHER'S NAME IS ROBERT AND HE IS AN IDIOT was Jack Smith's depraved & bucolic NORMAL LOVE...
It was my first Philip Gröning movie. For now, I am not discouraged to continue investigating his oeuvre. The script was co-written by Sabine Timoteo and I got also curious to watch a movie she directed the same year (DON'T TELL ME YOU CAN'T SING, 2018). During this long film, there were passages I was rather distracted or rather immersed but I was fully jinxed by the ending (not gonna specify to avoid spoilers).

Elena and Robert are 19 yrs old depraved (slipping into brother sister incest) & murderous twins who (while lying in the open field) like to quote Heidegger or St. Augustine and to eat Leibniz biscuits (afforded in a nearby gas station)...Review by Ramos Jr. ↓
Honestly, I would rather watch paint dry.
