Single White Female

Director: Barbet Schroeder

Review: A strong idea with a good mood and villain performance that runs out of steam in its third act.

Watch it if: You want something that keeps you guessing when it's cooking, at least.

And if you liked: Fatal Attraction, Pacific Heights

The Marvels

Director: Nia DaCosta

Review: Plenty of energy and charm from its leads but flattened by dull blocking that saps a lot of the emotional resonance.

Watch it if: You're invested in these characters already.

And if you liked: Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Wandvision

The Killer

Director: David Fincher

Review: Doesn't quite end as crisply as one might like but delivers a good, simple story well with plenty of panache and wit.

Watch it if: You're ok with some brief, heavy violence.

And if you liked: American Psycho, Drive, John Wick
