STREAMING

STILL SHOWING

‘Drive-Away Dolls’ C Two friends rent a “drive-away” car, but they are accidentally given a vehicle with a secret stash in the trunk, which sparks a chase across state lines. While the performances are good, the plot is missing major pieces. Starring Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan and Beanie Feldstein. Directed by Ethan Coen.

At Plaza Theatre and AMC Barrett Commons. 1 hour, 24 minutes. ‘Madame Web’ C A paramedic for FDNY has the ability to see the future because she was bit by a poisonous spider in utero while her mom was researching spiders in the Amazon.

(Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service) Rated PG for thematic content, smoking and brief bloody images. At metro theaters. 1 hour, 56 minutes.
