Christopher Nolan sends Matt Damon's Odysseus across gods, monsters and impossible trials on the long road back to Ithaca — and underneath the spectacle it's really about longing and holding your humanity intact. With Zendaya, Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway in the mix (and an 8.5 buzz behind it), it's the big, sweep-you-away option when you want cinema that fills the whole screen. Settle in — at nearly three hours it's an event, best shared.

On a sun-drenched Mediterranean island in the late '70s, tycoon Marcos Timoleon throws a lavish birthday party — and every guest arrives with an agenda, making "family is the most serious business" feel like a delicious warning. Willem Dafoe anchors a glamorous, intrigue-laced drama that's all texture and undercurrent, the kind you'll unpack together afterward. Screenings are limited this week, so if the glossy-drama mood calls, catch it while you can.
