None of the films you mention, except "The Edge of Heaven," has been

released anywhere near here so I cannot comment upon them.
The Edge I enjoyed but I don't think it's a ***** effort: it uses too many facile plot devices. If indeed it is to make a point, and not just a cop-out to tie up ends to further the drama--- it is inexcusably heavy-handed. This was done many years ago, in Dicken's day, within the novel but was abandoned as self-serving, obvious.
A good film, yes. But I'd argue nowhere near the pinnacle of disorientation shown in, for example, some of Fassbinder's films.
Let the Right One and Bashir, I'd argue, favorably CAN be compared to the best in their respective genres and should occupy places not far from the top.
