Director: Domee Shi, Madeline Sharafian, Adrian Molina
Cast: Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldana, Remy Edgerly, Brandon Moon, Brad Garrett, Jameela Jamil
Long story short: this is a good film for kids, but maybe not so great for adults, and feels less like Pixar than the generic films being churned out by rival animation companies.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Antoine Fuqua
Cast: Denzel Washington, Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Remo Girone, Andrea Scarduzio, Andrea Dodero, David Denman
The messiest of the three movies and the most narratively fractured, but it should still satisfy those who consider themselves to be fans.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Lee Cronin
Cast: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher

There’s nothing here to elevate "The Electrical Life of Louis Wain" out of the “generic bio-pic” basket.
