Plus, for Pride, a new gay romantic comedy.
After a Memorial Day weekend that saw "Top Gun: Maverick" reaching some box-office heights, we head into a weekend focused more on indies. |
Two films from international auteurs are opening, one from the Canadian writer-director David Cronenberg, the other from the British writer-director Terence Davies. |
"Crimes of the Future" is Cronenberg back in his body-horror groove. The critic Manohla Dargis called it "very tough and creepy, yet improbably relaxed; it's a low-key dispatch from the end of the world." |
And "Benediction" has Davies doing another poet biopic, this one about Siegfried Sassoon. In his review, A.O. Scott wrote that "the portrait of an anguished artist becomes a somewhat familiar tableau of Britain between the wars." |
It's Pride Month, and a new gay romantic comedy has landed on Hulu: "Fire Island." In her review, Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote that it's "impossible to resist a movie that uses 'Legally Blonde' as a verb and in which two men adorably bond over Alice Munro short stories." |
