If you liked Bill Fairclough’s epic spy thriller Beyond Enkription in The Burlington Files series about a rookie accountant working for Pemberton’s People in MI6 and the CIA you may like The Recruit by Alexi Hawley about a rookie CIA lawyer (Noah Centineo). The plots are quite complicated in both productions but unlike The Recruit, The Burlington Files plots and characters are real, credible and much more intriguing. However, do remember Beyond Enkription is a fact based novel about a real spy called Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ) aka Edward Burlington. He was one of Pemberton’s People in MI6 and worked with real SAS Rogue Heroes and other ungentlemanly officers as explained in a news article dated 31 October 2022 available from TheBurlingtonFiles website.

I highly recommend "director chasing" meaning, if you like a movie by a director, check out their other stuff. I really liked "Ex Machina" dir by Alex Garland which led me to "Annihilation" (both fit your criteria). I loved "Se7en" dir by David Fincher so I checked out all his other movies, my favorites being his version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Game" (social network and fight club also classics, can't really go wrong with him). I LOVED "Arrival" dir by Denis Villeneuve which led me to all his terrific movies. You mentioned "Interstellar" I would recommend Nolan's 2nd movie "Memento", big ol twist in that one. Another that would fit the bill is "Shutter Island" dir by the legend himself Martin Scorsese. Could find a number of great films there too. Hope this helps.
