‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ is a ‘Star Wars’ spin-off best-suited to 10-year-olds; ‘Eagles of the Republic’ depicts life under an Egyptian dictatorship; ‘The Balloonists’ follows a 1990s attempt to circumnavigate the globe; the ever more inaccessible English countryside is documented in ‘Our Land’; Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel shine in art-forgery comedy ‘The Christophers’; 1950s-set Hungarian drama ‘Orphan’.
