Regretting You (PG-13)

After a tragic accident claims Morgan’s (Allison Williams) husband and Clara’s (Mckenna Grace) father, the family is forced to look at the events leading up to it, uncover hidden truths, all while Clara seeks independence and the potential romance with the boy in school. From the Colleen Hoover Adaptation, “Regretting You” has all the makings of a Hallmark/Lifetime Classic movie, but is elevated by its lead performances.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (R)

Jeremy Allen White swaps out his apron and chef knives for a pick and a guitar as rock icon Bruce Springsteen. “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” charts Springsteen’s retreat to his roots, trying to capture a distinct sound for his most personal work yet. With the record label on his back, but being protected by his manager (Jeremy Strong), we get a personal look at the music legend’s grapple with mental health, past trauma, and artistic integrity.

If you’re looking for a film that covers the span of Springsteen’s career and focuses on the hits, you’ll be disappointed, as this is centered mainly around his “Nebraska” album. I myself have not been an avid listener of his, so I can’t speak to whether that is a good or bad thing for fans coming to watch. But I can say that Jeremy Allen White delivers a powerful performance.

Shelby Oaks (R)

Directed by Chris Stuckmann and executive produced by Mike Flanagan, we follow Mia Brennan (Camille Sullivan) as she investigates the disappearance of her sister Riley, who vanished while making YouTube paranormal content. Stuckmann himself is widely known as one of the first YouTube film critics on the platform to gain significant notoriety, and with “Shelby Oaks”, a film funded primarily by a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, he delivers a scary, visually dynamic introduction to what I hope will be a new chapter in his career as a director.

While the plot can give way to a few too many conveniences, “Shelby Oaks” brings new life into the “found footage” sub-genre of horror that has been largely forgotten in the past few years.

Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost

Directed by Ben Stiller, this deeply personal documentary explores the lives and decades-long partnership of comedy legends Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Told through archival footage and interviews with the Stiller family, this is a personal introspective look at an entertainment couple struggling to find greatness and personal meaning in their life, while seeing individual identities. It also touches on the children’s lives and reflections on how they perhaps mirror the same struggles.

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (R)

A modern re-imagining of the 1992 thriller, this version follows attorney Caitlyn Morales (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who hires a seemingly perfect nanny, Polly Murphy (Maika Monroe), to help with her growing family. But Polly’s hidden motives come to light as Caitlyn’s children are starting to be manipulated by Polly, making what seemed like a perfect fit become a perfect nightmare.

This is an easily forgettable film. Silly dialogue and moments that make you cringe with secondhand embarrassment as opposed to actual fear.
