Directed by music video visionary Jonas Åkerlund, this feature-length documentary charts Idol’s rise from sneering underground firebrand to MTV-era global force, weaving rare archival footage and candid interviews into a portrait of chaos, addiction, reinvention, and survival.

Revenge meets resurrection in writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s 1930s reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein, where loyalty and longing turn combustible.

Nature finally talks back in Pixar’s eco-charged animated comedy about a teen who trades her skateboard for a mechanical tail. Piper Curda voices Mabel Tanaka, a rebellious skater who accidentally uploads her mind into a lifelike robotic beaver and discovers a forest fed up with human-made destruction.

Mortality gets the last word in this Sundance-winning documentary, where self-described “idiot” André Ricciardi turns the camera on himself after a devastating colorectal cancer diagnosis. Blending candid vérité with surreal stop-motion, he chronicles his final chapter with dark humor and blunt self-awareness. Less a sentimental goodbye than a clear-eyed warning, the film becomes a pointed call to action about checkups, colonoscopies, and the cost of waiting too long.

A quiet getaway spirals into captivity when a young woman is abducted by a porcelain-faced killer who wants to turn her into his surrogate child.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao returns with a sweeping 16th-century drama adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed novel, imagining the personal loss that may have shaped Shakespeare’s magnum opus Hamlet through the lives of the young playwright (Paul Mescal) and his wife, Agnes (Oscar-nominee Jesse Buckley), as they mourn their son, Hamnet. It’s a hushed, soul-deep portrait of love, memory, and devastation... and a reminder that genius doesn’t arrive fully formed, sometimes it’s carved out of pain.
🎦 Fackham Hall
(Fri, Mar 6th — streaming on HBO MAX)
A petty pickpocket bluffs his way into high society and quickly finds himself tangled in romance, scandal, and a murder he definitely didn’t plan for. Mixing Downton Abbey–style aristocratic drama with Monty Python–level absurdity, this British farce unleashes nonstop misunderstandings and posh mayhem. With a cast led by Ben Radcliffe, Thomasin McKenzie, Katherine Waterston, Jimmy Carr, and Damian Lewis, this gleefully absurd spoof embraces posh attitude and pure comedic lunacy.
🎦 Nuremberg
(Sat, Mar 7th — streaming on Netflix)
From writer-director James Vanderbilt comes an unflinching historical drama set in the wake of World War II, as U.S. Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon) leads the Nuremberg Trials to prove that justice (not vengeance) can define civilization.

🎦 Ghost Elephants
(Sun, Mar 8th — streaming on NatGEO, Hulu/Disney+)
At 83, Werner Herzog is still chasing the unknowable. The legendary filmmaker follows conservation biologist Dr. Steve Boyes into the Angolan wilderness on a decade-long quest to find a rumored herd of “Ghost Elephants,” guided by trackers whose intuition feels almost mythic. Less a wildlife documentary than a meditation on obsession and belief, Herzog’s latest asks whether the search for something unseen reveals more about the seeker than the creature itself.
