Genre: Drama
Director: Maria Allred
Cast: Julie Webb, Maria Allred, Benjamin Farmer, Patrick D. Green, Donny Persons, Damien Genardi

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Vaughn Stein
Cast: Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg, Mike Myers, Max Irons, Dexter Fletcher
The strength of the stylistic elements and Robbie’s performance aren’t sufficient to overcome the deficiencies of an initially derivative and ultimately off-kilter narrative.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Cory Finley
Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Olivia Cooke, Anton Yelchin, Paul Sparks

Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Martin McDonagh
Cast: Frances McDormand, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Abbie Cornish, Lucas Hedges, Caleb Landry Jones, Peter Dinklage
