New movies to watch in the week of 2020, 2020 – variety

Movies slowly began to return to theaters, emphasizing the word “slowly”. For now, viewers’ options are still better at home, as this week’s crop of new films includes a new genre hire of “Becky” by the directors of “Cuts” – acting a bit like a hard-R, including “Home Alone” Edition – and festival standouts like Hong Sang-su’s “yourself and you”.

“Invisible Man” star Elizabeth Moss describes the growing opportunities for abused women in her increasingly obsolete Shirley Jackson biopic, a film that identifies the author of “Lottery” as a character who can discover in her mind. Ghost stories.

Here is a complete rounddown of the new releases of the week with a review and a summary of the links where you can see them. Find more movies and TV shows to stream here.

Drive-in play and very limited release:

Becky (Carrie Murnion, Jonathan Millet)
Distributor: Agile distribution
Where to get it: Rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms
Thirty may be a petulant age, but there’s no hell as angry as the teenage heroine of “Becky,” who is unlucky to deal with a group of runaway cons – though it certainly has bad consequences for them, as it turns out. Offering fairly brutal action on the edge of black comedy, this indie thriller is slender, i.e., nasty fun that will appeal to fans of the genre of hardcore flavors. It may have less appeal to fans of comedian Kevin James, who is far from “Paul Ballart: Mall Cop” as the “sad main villain” here. – Dennis Harvey

Max Winslow and the House of Secrets (Sean Olson)
Distributor: 3D Live Exo
Where to get it: Now playing exclusively in this theater.
A group of five teenagers will have to compete against each other to win the beast of a billionaire, not expect to be locked up to stand up for themselves.

Mighty Oak (Sean McNamara)
Distributor: Max
Where to get it: Now playing exclusively in theaters.
“Soul Surfer” director McNamara headlines this inspirational story from a producer who gets a young accident tune (played by Tommy Ragen) that reminds him of his brother who was lost in a car accident.

Individual films as per direct demand:

Dreamland (Bruce MacDonald)
Distributor: Entertainment of Uncork, Picture of Gark Star
Where to get it: Available in select theaters on demand and digital basis.
Obviously a sort of thrilling lynching view, but the launch’s most surreal outpress “Dreamland” cooks up an unrealistic child sex trafficking story as a framework that hangs these kinds of stereotypes. According to the plot, the screenplay seems to be gaining traction in hitman-save-a-kid touchpoints such as “The Professional” and “You’ve Never Really Been Here”, but only occasionally brings up a handful of random pages. – Jessica Kiang

Brutal (Andrew Wonder)
Distributor: 1091 Entertainment
Where to get it: Rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms
No one can guess that Annapurna Sriram’s Yasmin is homeless. In all appearances, he softens the still-worrying “Brooklyn hipster,” close to the clichচের of college-educated people – a deceptive look that is one of the few things to return to his advantage. Sketches of characters that fall somewhere in the whole round portrait. Nonetheless, the subject of his arrest and the audience a clean aesthetic composition for a promising debut worthy of attention. – Dennis Harvey

Hammer (Christian Sparks)
Distributor: Vertical entertainment
Where to get it: Rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms
This Canadian thriller puts his characters through the Rube Goldbergian barrier course for danger in the moment after the snatching drug deal. The pileup of disaster is such that this story could very easily be cut as a kind of humorous joke. But the “hammer” is playing it straight. The result is not a knockout, it falls within the realm of crime fair and family drama without limiting any element to the maximum. But it does create a concise, well-designed suspense practice that can satisfy most home visitors that works well enough in the middle ground – Dennis Harvey

Judy and Punch (Mirra Foulcos)
Distributor: Samuel Goldwyn Films
Where to get it: Rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms
Located somewhere in the fictional sequence between the Wicken legend and the Monty Python farce, it is a story of revenge for domestic violence in a country of satire-reputation that it never had. The original narrative is rather simple, and the political metaphor is not particularly subtle. The overall concept, however, ranges from a trilogy of folks and story collaborators to the film’s periodic anacronism, with one of the elements of its impressive design having a key wind in the breaking. – Dennis Harvey

The price of aspiration (Abby Ainworth)
Distributor: Giant picture
Where to get it: Rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms
Even the most iconic twist of twentieth-century Anglo-Irish modernist Aileen Gray, including a scene shot at Seminal E-1027, fails to compensate for the price of a seaside villa, built for ex-girlfriend Jean Badovichi in C ডিte d’Azur, France. “With the rest of the boundaries. This tedious production of 2014 effectively undermined Gray’s work by the violent Swiss architect Le Corbusier and obscured his place in the design pantheon for many years. Rec – Alyssa Simon

Shirley (Josephine Decker) Pictures of critics
Distributor: Star they picture
Where to get it: Stream for free on Hulu or rent on Amazon and other on-demand platforms.
Shirley Jackson was a true man, the author best known for his crooked short story “The Lottery”, although the version presented by Josephine Decker “Shirley” feels more like a character in a novel of his own. Starring actress Elizabeth Moss in the title role, “The Handmade’s Tale”, this curious, rigorous mental study is not a biopic as a sensation – a half-joke attempt to summon the soul of such a single author, a genre half a century before his death. Renewed through a film that wanted to channel his uninjured style. – Peter DeBruze

Tommaso (Abel Ferrara)
Distributor: Kino Lorber
Where to get it: Choose a virtual movie to support.
William Daffo, who starred in Ferrara’s “Pasolini”, played the Rome-based American indie director Tommaso. The film was shot in Ferrara’s own apartment and was spent with his wife, Christina Chiriak, and the couple’s three-year-old daughter. The scene of the scene, “Tommaso” feels alive as a movie. Daffo lets find a scene without getting any of its angles; He is watching you. Disappointingly the film draws almost nothing from decades of experience returning as a producer. The movie, instead, is a slowly burning story of Ferrara’s broken relationship. – Owen Gleberman

Yourself and yours (Hong Kong Sang-su)
Distributor: Cinema Guild
Where to get it: Choose a virtual movie to support.
At least two female doppelgars drink coffee and soju, flirt with different men, and spread gossip and mass confusion between Hang’s “Self and You”, an intelligent and mildly unrealistic fairy tale about how to move forward in a relationship. Inspired by Louis Buell’s “That Obscure Object of Desire”, which had two different actresses playing the same female character, one actress played multiple versions of herself in the film – or so it would seem the film was attracted by the short-lived attitude of Hong’s recent work. Confidence in short-core pleasures has returned. – Scott Tobias

New to Netflix

The last days of American crime (Olivier Megaton)
Where to get it: Netflix’s
Nowadays, seeking solace in global epidemics and nationwide protests, film critics often find themselves referring to “the movie we need right now” as reversing this clich–description down to something that provides the world with little comfort or context. This is not that movie. Instead, looting and anarchy in the eye of the beholder is seen as window dressing, law and order comes in the form of mind control and police brutality is so pervasive as to trigger caution. – Peter DeBruze

Spell dreams (Sam Rega)
Where to get it: Netflix’s
This entertaining documentary controversially begins with its most hilarious moment: the 2019 Scripps National Spelling Bee, where after 20 rounds eight kids tied for the title. Seven of the winners are of South Asian or Indian descent; There was only one white. “Dream spell” “What gives?” Provides some answers to this question? Twelve straight national championships? Twenty-seven of the last 35 winners? Really? Featuring four scheduled contestants for the 2017 competition, Doc celebrates – and geniuses interrogates – that impressive run. – Lisa Kennedy

Shortness of breath: Paisa balta hai (Anurag Kashyap)
Where to get it: Netflix’s
Trying to figure out how a working Maharashtrian woman can end up discovering the source of money in the most unexpected place in this Indian film.

Exclusive to Hulu

And we are green (Fisher Stevens, Malcolm Venville)
Where to get it: Hulu
Co-produced by Leonardo DiCaprio (and featuring a cameo appearance since then), this fourth-year documentary on the Formula E motorsport circuit presents itself as a planet-conscious adaptation of clean-energy technology, but in most cases there is a competition of brush personalities for dominance. It’s a frequent shallow sports dock on striking services that pops up frequently, which seems to be the end of it. – Scott Tobias
