OPENING TODAY “Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania” D+
The partners are back and this time, with a gaggle of family members go to explore the Quantum Realm, a secret universe “outside time and space.” The film will work as dutiful fan service, but there's something dispiriting about watching such gifted actors legitimize yet another generically familiar sequel. Starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Jonathan Majors. Directed by Peyton Reed. (Ann Hornaday, Washington Post) Rated PG-13 for violence/action and language. At metro theaters. 2 hours, 5 minutes.
“Close” Review not available in time for publication.
The seemingly unbreakable bond between two 13-year-old best friends is suddenly, tragically torn apart. Starring Eden Dambrine, Gustav de Waele and Emilie Dequenne. Directed by Lukas Dhont. Rated PG-13 for thematic material, suicide and brief strong language. At AMC Phipps Plaza and Landmark's Midtown Art. 1 hour, 45 minutes.
“Marlowe” C
In 1939 Los Angeles, a detective works to find an heiress' supposed dead lover whom she believes she has seen recently on the street in Tijuana. Even though the film has a splendid cast, everyone seems too old and the dialogue is often awkwardly literary. Starring Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange and Diane Kruger. Directed by Neil Jordan. (James Verniere, Boston Herald) Rated R for some sexual material, language, brief drug use and violent content. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 50 minutes.
“Of an Age”
Review not available in time for publication. In the summer of 1999, a 17-year-old Serbian born, Australian amateur ballroom dancer engages in an unexpected and intense 24-hour romance with a friend's older brother. Starring Elias Anton, Thom Green and Hattie Hook. Directed by Goran Stolevski. Rated R for language throughout, some drug use and sexual content. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 39 minutes. PARENTS GUIDE: This is more of a mature coming-of-age story concerning sex and sexuality. OK for teens.
“Winnie-the-pooh: Blood and Honey”
Review not available in time for publication. In a strange twist, young man Christopher
Robin leaves Pooh and Piglet to fend for themselves and they become feral, soon beginning a bloody rampage. Starring Craig David Dowsett, Chris Cordell and Amber Doig-thorne. Directed by Rhys Frake-waterfield. Unrated. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 40 minutes.
STREAMING NOW “Sharper” B
This is a con-game thriller that involves puzzle boxes within puzzle boxes and a book shop owner, grad student, con man, trophy wife and billionaire. The cast is the film's ace up its sleeve, each of whom is riveting to watch, in different ways. Starring Julianne Moore, Sebastian Stan and Justice
Smith. Directed by Benjamin Caron. (Michael O'sullivan, Washington Post) Rated R for language throughout and some sexual references. Appletv+. 1 hour, 56 minutes.
STILL SHOWING “80 For Brady” C+
Four Tom Brady superfans in their 80s take a road trip to catch the 2017 Super Bowl in person. The comedy isn't groundbreaking, but it holds together thanks to the group of legendary stars. Starring Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field. Directed by Kyle Marvin. (Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service) Rated PG-13 for brief strong language, some drug content and some suggestive references. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 38 minutes.
“Knock at the Cabin” C+
A family on vacation at a lakeside rental are confronted by strangers who present the family with a choice: sacrifice one of their own or watch the apocalypse unfold. The film's power is hobbled by the way the director focuses on the doomsday and not the delusions. Starring Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan. (Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service) Rated R for violence and language. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 40 minutes.
“Magic Mike's Last Dance”
C
A divorcee discovers Mike at her fundraiser and decides to bring the magic to the masses at a one-night-only cabaret in London. This final installment of the trilogy has few flashes of the original magic, lacking the energy that made the first two movies a thrill. Starring Channing Tatum, Salma Hayek and Caitlin Gerard. Directed by Steven Soderbergh. (Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service) Rated R for sexual material and language. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 52 minutes.
