The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Agatha All Along” skillfully balances both blockbuster and comic expectations, featuring jaw-dropping character reveals, seamless execution of nonlinear storytelling...

Released in theaters Sept. 27, Megan Park’s sophomore movie, “My Old Ass,” is about an 18-year-old girl named Elliott (Maisy Stella) who is about to move away from her small town to Toronto for college. A funny script with solid performances, My Old Ass stumbles a bit on the path to delivering its message. But just like Park’s previous work, it’s a movie with a passionate lead seeking answers to their struggles as a teenager.  Elliott is a classic angsty teen character who can’t wait to leave her hometown life behind. She decides to celebrate her 18th birthday by taking mushrooms with her best friends in the woods, which, of course, leads to her coming face-to-face with her older self, played by Aubrey Plaza.

“Megalopolis” is a $120 million, 40-years-in-the-making, self-indulgent fever dream. Despite a loaded cast — Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf and Dustin Hoffman, to name just a few — the real star of this film, released on Sept. 27, is Francis Ford Coppola. Returning to the big screen after 13 years, the famed director — whose resume includes “Apocalypse Now” and all three parts of “The Godfather” — delivers an entirely self-indulgent project that is impossible to understand. 

"Ingrid Goes West" is a multifaceted, character-rich, hilarious examination of celebrity culture, mental illness and social media addiction.
