MONDAY

★★

Romantic drama, R, 115 minutes, 2021

The admittedly intriguing premise of this antirom-com is following Mickey (Sebastian Stan) and Chloe (Denise Gough), a pair of American free spirits in Greece, to see how they get along after their first weekend of heart-pounding attraction. But the more time we spend with them, the more we tire of their co-dependent narcissism and their selfish and impulsive ways.

CONCRETE COWBOY

★★★

Drama, R, 111 minutes, 2021

A teenager (Caleb McLaughlin of “Stranger Things”) moves in with the father he barely knows (Idris Elba), who leads a Philadelph­ia club of Black horse riders. This is a warmhearte­d and borderline corny story we’ve seen hundreds of times before, but the setting is unique and pretty special.

Sci-fi action, NR, 94 minutes, 2021

In the latest addition to the time loop genre, a former special agent gets killed every day by a team of assassins, and then wakes up to start fending off the attackers all over again. Star Frank Grillo carries the sci-fi thriller with a combinatio­n of brute force and light charm.

GENIUS: ARETHA

★★★

Drama, TV-MA, 2021

It took just five years for Cynthia Erivo to become a superstar. In that half-decade, the Tony, Grammy and Emmy award-winning and Oscarnomin­ated actress has dazzled on Broadway, delivered brilliant work in “The Outsider” and lit up the big screen in films such as “Bad Times at the El Royale,” “Widows” and “Harriet.” She knocks it out of the park as the legendary and larger-than-life Aretha Franklin.
