Our recommendations for what’s new for home viewing this month.
“The Death of Stalin”
I love political satire as much as anyone, but this film is insufferable with its back-slapping, elitist brand of supposed “humor.”
“When We First Met”
There isn’t a lot of new ground covered and every tired rom-com checkbox is ticked, but this harmless little film still manages to feel fresh, is thoroughly delightful, and delivers pleasant, affable entertainment.
“Thoroughbreds”
The majority of this film is pretty fantastic. Too bad the director had to go and nearly spoil it all with a tacked on, irrelevant epilogue.
“Death Wish”
The story is captivating and the resolution satisfying. But is this pro-gun, heroic vigilante scenario irresponsible? Yes and no.
“The Strangers: Prey at Night”
If you’re looking for a film that effectively delivers scares and suspense (and doesn’t skip on the gore), you could do worse.
