Instead of curling up on the couch with to watch HBO’s Vinyl (which Sean Nelson describes as “a camp fairy tale that thinks it’s a morality play and acts like it’s the most important artwork in the world”) head out to a movie theater to watch one of these picks from our critics. For more options, check out our complete movie times listings, or our our calendar of Oscar parties and screenings.
NEW RELEASES
1. Rams
“The film’s gorgeous cinematography captures a world that couldn’t feel more distant from a life of smartphone notifications and open office structures. Within the first few minutes of watching, it feels as if Icelandic director Grímur Hákonarson is inviting you to pull on a heavy wool sweater and stay for a cup of tea.” – Sydney Brownstone
LIMITED RUNS
2. Edge of Tomorrow
“The script is full of funny moments that take full advantage of the Groundhog Day premise, and if the crappy 3-D, murky cinematography, and occasionally indecipherable action sometimes drag you out of the movie, you won’t have too much trouble falling back into it, either. It’s been years since Cruise starred in a popcorn blockbuster this fun.” – Paul Constant
