Cast: Ana de Armas, Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Julianne Nicholason, Xavier Samuel, Toby Huss, Caspar Phillipson
The Marilyn of this movie is a victim and "Blonde" is a chronicle of her victimization – not so much a story as a tedious collage of loosely-interrelated incidents.

Director: Tom George
Cast: Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, Adrien Brody, Ruth Wilson, Shirley Henderson, David Oyelowo

Director: Kevin Smith

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Zach Cregger
Cast: Georgina Campbell, Bill Skarsgard, Justin Long, Richard Brake, Matthew Patrick Davis
For roughly two-thirds of its 100-minute running length, Barbarian is a top-notch excursion into the dark, twisty tunnels and catacombs of a mystery-cum-monster movie.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Harry Wootliff
Cast: Ruth Wilson, Tom Burke, Hayley Squires
The chemistry between the leads, played by Ruth Wilson and Tom Burke, is flammable but the movie needs more.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Adamma Ebo
Cast: Regina Hall, Sterling K. Brown, Nicole Beharie, Conphidance, Austin Crute, Devere Rogers
The movie is at times funny, at times blistering, and at times insightful, but it lacks consistency, thereby arguing that perhaps the short film that provided its basis offered a better length.
