Olivia Wilde directs and stars alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penelope Cruz in a sly romance about a marriage on thin ice and the enigmatic neighbors invited upstairs for dinner. It is funny, charged, and just unpredictable enough to spark conversation on the walk home, a smart comedy with real feeling underneath. At 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, it is a knowing treat for couples, so plan ahead, since screenings around town are on the scarce side this week.

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser weigh an impossible choice as the fate of the free world hangs in the balance. It is a stylish, nerve-tightening thriller that trades spectacle for suspense and leaves you plenty to unpack together afterward. With Kerry Condon and Damian Lewis rounding out the cast and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, it makes for a gripping, grown-up night out.
