We’re only a month away from the official beginning of spring, so if the cold and rainy winter makes you want to hide out inside a movie theater, this weekend is a perfect time to indulge in that feeling. Our critics have picked the best options this weekend, from horror films like The Witch to Who Framed Roger Rabbit to How to Be Single. Zoolander No. 2 is also out this weekend, but, according to Elinor Jones, it’s “a film about idiots, for idiots”…but at least they’re familiar morons. If you need even more options, check out our complete movie times listings, or our film festivals calendar.
NEW RELEASES
1. How to Be Single
“Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the filmmakers focus-grouped my approximate demographic of women and attached sensors to us to see what made our hearts, brains, and nether regions tingle, then checked what we hearted on Tumblr, and then crammed all that shit into one movie with a crowd-pleasing soundtrack. Is this a cheap grab at our base emotions? Yes. Is it effective? Abso-fucking-lutely.” – Elinor Jones
2. Race
After describing Race as both totally ordinary and kind of bonkers, Ned Lannamann writes that “as a basic history lesson, Race could have been a lot worse; as an investigation of social issues that are still with us today, it cracks open an interesting window—even if it can’t do more.”
