• Streaming releases include The Cycle on Shudder and AMC+, a horror film praised for its practical effects and fresh take on classic tropes, and The Invite on HBO Max, a well-reviewed adult comedy directed by Olivia Wilde that explores intimacy and marriage with humor and warmth.
• Additional theatrical releases include Klara and the Sun, an AI-themed drama with mixed reviews, Wildwood, a highly anticipated stop-motion fantasy from Laika Studios, and Ali G: Who Iz I?, Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comedic character-driven film.
