The Gospel of Eureka A documentary about a Southern city that has sizable populations of both fundamentalist Christians and drag queens. Not reviewed. Not rated. 75 minutes.

NGreen Book Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali are ideally paired as an Italian American driver and an African American pianist on a concert tour through the deep South in 1962. Mortensen completely transforms and won an Oscar nomination. Rated PG-13. 130 minutes. — M. LaSalle

LGreta An elegantly made (by director Neil Jordan) but inane thriller, this one stars Isabelle Huppert as a seemingly mild French widow who is, in fact, a psychopathic stalker of young women. Chloe Grace Moretz stars as latest victim. There are some amusing moments, but the film loses steam before the finish. Rated R. 98 minutes. — M. LaSalle

7.0 6.9 6.8 6.7 6.7 Hotel Mumbai This fictionalized account of the horrific terrorist attacks of 2008 in Mumbai certainly gets across the shattering level of violence involved. But when it comes to focusing on individuals, the film is marred by cliches of character, situation and dialogue. With Dev Patel and Armie Hammer. Rated R. 125 minutes. — W. Addiego

LNHow to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World The final installment in the “Dragon” series is a beautifully made film that takes chances with the story and provides a couple of impressive, lovely sequences that are practically avant-garde in their audacity. It’s a brilliant finish for the animated series. Rated PG. 104 minutes. — M. LaSalle

NThe Invisibles This documentary about the Jews who hid in Nazi Germany, often in plain sight, is a brilliant combination of documentary and live action techniques. It uses dramatic scenes, well-acted, to depict the events it describes. Not rated. 100 minutes.

KIsn’t It Romantic Rebel Wilson stars in this total misfire, the story of a woman who bangs her head and ends up trapped inside a romantic comedy. The movie places Wilson, a comic force, in a straight man role, reacting to others’ zaniness. There are almost no laughs. Rated PG-13. 88 minutes.

MThe Lego Movie 2: The Second Part This sequel to “The Lego Movie” has lost the element of surprise, and the narrative is too close to a repeat of the original. But the filmmakers understand what made the first movie work, and endeavor to give us a lot more of that. “Lego Movie 2” does nothing to elevate the form — and yet it doesn’t disappoint. Rated PG. 93 minutes. — P. Hartlaub

Out of Blue This crime drama involves a New Orleans detective (Patricia Clarkson) who faces cosmic questions as she investigates the murder of an astrophysicist (Mamie Gummer). Not reviewed. Not rated. 109 minutes.

MRuben Brandt, Collector This entertaining Hungarian animated feature is a heist film, depicting a series of art thefts. But what sets it apart is director Milorad Krstic’s skill in appropriating the styles of more than a dozen landmark artworks, and one of the film’s pleasures is in recognizing the visual references — greatest hits paintings by Picasso, Warhol, Edward Hopper, Botticelli and others. Not rated. minutes. — W. Addiego

Sunset This Hungarian film, which runs for 142 minutes, wears out its welcome in about 10, with its enigmatic, frustrating story of a woman who returns to Budapest and finds that her family has become notorious — but no one will tell her why. She cares more than than the audience ever does. Not rated. 140 minutes. In Hungarian with English subtitles.

MTransit The latest from Germany’s Christian Petzold is based on the 1944 novel by Anna Seghers about people desperate to get out of France ahead of the Nazis. Petzold has boldly recast the time frame to something like today, though the invaders are still Germans. The film is skillful in painting a picture of claustrophobia and existential dread. Not rated. 102 minutes. In German with English subtitles.

MUs The latest from Jordan Peele is a horror movie that comes with a grab bag of ideas, none thought out but evocative and interesting all the same. Lupita Nyong’o is a particular standout in a dual role, as an upper-class wife and as her evil doppelganger. Rated R. 116 minutes. — M. LaSalle

MThe Wedding Guest Dev Patel stars as a professional killer paid to kidnap a woman (Radhika Apte) on her wedding day and deliver her to her lover. Plans go awry and they find themselves on the lam in India in this efficiently cool film noir directed by Michael Winterbottom. Rated R. 94 minutes.

MWoman at War This Icelandic comedydrama mixes a light approach and mild absurdism with more deeply personal concerns in recounting the tale of a middle-aged woman engaged in a clandestine war against despoilers of the environment. Not rated. 101 minutes. In Icelandic with English subtitles.

KWonder Park Pedestrian animated film about a 5-year-old girl who tries to escape into a fantasy amusement park to deal with her mother’s life-threatening illness. Short on emotional depth and a with lackluster visual design, it just isn’t very much fun. Rated PG. 85 minutes. — G. Allen Johnson
