Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman is coming to theaters this weekend, and you should definitely watch it now rather than waiting for it to show up on your tiny screen. Also worth seeing: the Adam Driver-starring political thriller The Report and the National Enquirer doc Scandalous. Also, the Romanian Film Festival: Sixth Edition is not to be missed. See all of our film critics’ picks below, and, if you’re looking for even more options, check out our film events calendar and complete movie times listings.

10 Cloverfield Lane
It starts conventionally: with a crash. Our heroine, Michelle, is driven off the road by a truck and careens into a nearby ditch. She twists and turns and flips – then, for the next two hours, 10 Cloverfield Lane takes us through its own wild ride. Essentially, what Dan Trachtenberg (a new face to the directing scene) has done is presented a compelling genre movie in a blender. Thriller and sci-fi. Sci-fi and mystery. Mystery and horror. They combine and intertwine and coexist so fluently, it’s often difficult to tell what kind of movie you’re seeing. But one thing’s for certain: It’s damn good stuff. JACOB LICHTY
