Genre: Thriller
Director: Paul Feig

The movie becomes so obsessed with narrative switchbacks that it comes close to straying into self-parody territory.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Matthew Ross
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Ana Ularu, Pasha D. Lychnikoff, Eugene Lipinski, Molly Ringwald

Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Jon Watts
Cast: Tom Holland, Bokeem Woodbine, Laura Harrier, Jacob Batalon, Donald Glover, Zendaya, Jon Favreau, Marisa Tomei, Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Chris Evans
Although this "Homecoming" serves its purpose, it’s just a forgettable waystation on the MCU map, where all roads lead to "Infinity War".

Genre: Drama
Director: Ritesh Batra
Cast: Jim Broadbent, Charlotte Rampling, Harriet Walter, Michelle Dockery, Emily Mortimer, Billy Howle, Freya Mavor, Joe Alwyn
