Genre: Drama
Director: Zach Braff
Cast: Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman, Celeste O’Connor, Molly Shannon, Chinaza Uche
The participation of Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman, both in top form, transforms this from a middling weeper into a deeply felt meditation about the ravages of drug addiction.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Tobias Lindholm
Cast: Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Noah Emmerich, Nnamdi Asomugha, Kim Dickens
Both actors give the roles their full attention and that, at least, is enough to keep the viewer engaged when the script fails – something that happens with disappointing frequency.

Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Billy Bob Thornton, Jessica Henwick, Dhanush, Alfre Woodard, Rege-Jean Page, Julia Butters

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Eli Horowitz
Cast: Winona Ryder, Dermot Mulroney, John Gallagher Jr., Owen Teague, Brianne Tju
Stiff acting, an increasingly hard-to-swallow storyline, and an atrociously bad ending torpedo "Gone in the Night", making it unworthy of even a streamed view.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-06-17
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Sophie Hyde
Cast: Emma Thompson, Daryl McCormack
The screenplay, which effectively balances comedic moments with dramatic ones, has some uneven moments, but Thompson’s performance never wavers.
