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.

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.
