This week's pick
Canyon
Lithuanian sniper Drasa (Anya Taylor Joy) and retired US Marine Sharpshooter Levi (Miles Terror) are separately selected for the same finest job. They are located on the other side – one run by Russia and another American – their remote meet cutes develop into romance beyond the gap. Scott Derrickson's sophisticated horror thriller features plenty of Tracer bullet gunfire and squeeze combat with the mystical creatures that live below, but Taylor Joy and Terror's chemistry happens to be a very skilled murder It's a sexy pair. .

Compartment No. 6
The movie on the train set is a drama Slam Dunk. There is an enclosed space that forces the characters to interact, but in the bid film of Zhuhokousmanen, the ever-changing landscape of the journey is personal in a soft film from Moscow to Marmansk in the deep winter. It brings about change. In the case of Finnish archaeology student Laura (Sedi Haarla), it starts with ostensibly sharing a compartment with the young Russian ryoka (Yura Borisov of Anora), a young rose, in this case. A brief encounter leads her to the realization of another person's life and to the opportunity to reevaluate her. A first class story.

Nurse Betty
In something like Neil Lovete's tasty dark comedy drama, she shows a range rarely seen on those Britcoms, so it's a shame that Rene Zelweger's career is defined solely by Bridget Jones is. Her Betty is a Kansas waitress obsessed with hospital soap. After the shocking incident, she enters a changed state that she considers the TV drama to be authentic and sets out for LA to “win” the main character (slim-slurped Greg Kinnear). A nods to the Wizard of Oz as Betty works through the mental breakdown of her fantasy.

Take away peace
Written and co-starring with director Chiwetel Ejiofor, this drama “based on a true story” definitely qualifies as a labor of love for the actor. It traces the youth and young adulthood of the academically talented New Jersey child Rob (a charismatic turn from Jay Will of Tulsa King). It's tragic yet inspirational as Rob employs a variety of personas, including Yale students, real estate developers, teachers and even Protowalter's white drug chemist, while pursuing his father's lawsuit. Give it.

I'll play it. But that's not all trauma, as Sheida and Mona ignore the roots by maintaining their hometown traditions.
