Trey Edward Shults'  frenetic, emotionally devastating drama is a superb union of filmmaking and acting.

Clint Eastwood's biopic of the Atlanta Olympics bombing hero-turned-suspect is plenty dramatic but somewhat ethically shady.

Martin Scorsese gives Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci another terrific actor's showcase.

A passable documentary about the East LA high school football rivalry known as "The Classic."

Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are stunning in Noah Baumbach's divorce dramedy.
