In the mood for a final visit with some great friends? | Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale

In Simon Curtis’ Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the epic story that enchanted the world comes to an end. Rocked by social and economic changes in 1930, the Crawley family and their staff carry on with compassion, good cheer, and impeccable manners. Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) navigates the scandal of an impending divorce, Lord and Lady Grantham (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern) struggle with economic insecurity, and Daisy (Sophie McShera) emerges as a more-than-capable young woman. The film includes the beloved returning cast as well as sparkling new faces, such as Noël Coward (Arty Froushan). The New York Times writes, “A lighthearted requiem to the remnants of empire, The Grand Finale casts one eye on the future and the other on the past.

In the mood for a sunny noir thriller? | Honey Don’t!

In Honey Don’t!—directed by Ethan Coen and written by Coen and Tricia Cooke—Honey O’Donahue (Margaret Qualley) is a small-town detective caught up in a web of murder and intrigue. Honey digs into the lives of the odd locals—from a sleazy preacher (Chris Evans) to a captivating cop (Aubrey Plaza) to a repeatedly dense detective (Charlie Day)—with style and smarts. The Chicago Reader writes that this sunny twist to classic film noir is “a damn good time at the movies.”

In the mood for a love story across time? | Touch

In Baltasar Kormákur’s Touch—co-written by Kormákur and the novel’s author, Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson—an older man’s desire to reclaim a romance from 50 years earlier propels him on a journey across time and continents. As Kristofer (Egil Ólafsson) leaves Iceland for England, he remembers how, as a young man (Pálmi Kormákur), he fell in love with Miko (Kôki Kimura), the woman he is now trying to find. “The film’s embrace of compassion and forgiveness for everyone is heartwarmingly spacious,” RogerEbert.com writes. “It shimmers with grace.”

In the mood for an epic American adventure? | The Bikeriders

Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders brings to life a slice of American history through the lens of a Chicago motorcycle gang, The Vandals. Inspired by Danny Lyon’s book of photographs of the same name, the film finds its heart in the story connecting Kathy (Jodie Comer), the dreamy biker Benny (Austin Butler) she falls for, and the gang’s leader, Johnny (Tom Hardy). With a top-notch ensemble cast that also includes Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, and Norman Reedus, the film is, as The Hollywood Reporter writes, “a love letter to outsiders.”

In the mood for a feel-good sports comedy? | Champions

In Bobby Farrelly’s Champions, Woody Harrelson plays Marcus, a minor-league basketball coach whose overzealous tactics land him a court-mandated job working with The Friends, a local team for people with disabilities. Through coaching them, Marcus slowly rediscovers his love for the game—and the people who play it. The power of friendship also inspired the cast. Farrelly explained in an exclusive Focus Features interview that the actors with disabilities who played The Friends formed a real bond: “When they came together for the first time, it was like they had known each other all their lives. That was just magic.” Screen Rant adds, “Everyone is clearly having a great time, and it shows in every scene.”
