Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Noah Baumbach

Genre: Drama
Director: Danny Strong

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Adult Themes)
Genre: Drama
Director: Mark Gill
Cast: Jack Lowden, Jessica Brown Findlay, Jodie Comer, Peter McDonald, Simone Kirby, Katherine Pearce, Vivienne Bell
It’s competently made and sporadically compelling but not likely to pique the interest of anyone unfamiliar with Morrissey.
