A meltdown worth watching together

Alejandro G. Iñárritu spins a comedy and drama about the most powerful man in the world racing to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he unleashed swallows everything. Tom Cruise, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, and Michael Stuhlbarg make it a big, buzzing night with plenty to unpack over a drink afterward. Equal parts funny and unsettling, it is the kind of swing you will be arguing about, happily, all the way home.

Funny, frantic, and a little dizzying
Sandra Hüller and Tom Cruise together
A man, a plan, a meltdown

The Social Reckoning

Smart, talky, and electric

Aaron Sorkin turns the story of Facebook engineer turned whistleblower Frances Haugen into a crackling drama and thriller, as she teams with a Wall Street Journal reporter to expose the social network's most guarded secrets. Jeremy Strong, Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, and Wunmi Mosaku give it that rapid-fire, heart-in-throat energy. It is a conversation starter of a movie, perfect for two people who like leaving the cinema mid-debate.

Tense, whip-smart dialogue
A real-world story with real stakes

The Invite

A dinner party that lights the fuse

Olivia Wilde directs this romance, comedy, and drama about Joe and Angela, a couple on thin ice who invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors over for dinner and watch the night spiral somewhere unexpected. With Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz, it is sly, sexy, and sharply funny, sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb. Screenings are thin on the ground this week, so grab the chance while it is here.
