Somebody I Used to Know isn’t a great entry in its subgenre, yet it is a pleasant one because of Allison Brie.

The Banshees of Inisherin
This definitely feels like a movie that will only become richer and more effecting upon repeat viewings.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Over-the-top Cage is the best Cage. Massive Talent is at its best when it leans into the goofiness of its concept.
