‘Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight’

Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir, Embeth Davidtz’s coming-of-age film centers on 8-year-old Bobo (Lexi Venter), a white girl growing up in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

‘Eleanor the Great’

Scarlett Johansson’s moving directorial debut stars June Squibb as the 94-year-old title character, who moves to New York City after the death of her best friend. A mix-up at a Jewish community center leads to Eleanor passing off her pal’s Holocaust survivor story as her own, a lie that spirals out of control and leads to her befriending a young journalist (Erin Kellyman).

‘Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie’

The family-friendly, kitty-loving romp finds Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) and the animated Gabby Cats heading to Cat Francisco with grandma Gigi (Gloria Estefan). The trip goes sideways when their dollhouse is nabbed by weird cat lady Vera (Kristen Wiig) in a movie fun for all ages that reminds adults you’re never too old to play.

‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You’

In the dark comedy, best actress nominee Rose Byrne plays a therapist whose ceiling caves in while her husband is away for work. It’s not even close to the worst thing that befalls her in a series of increasingly nutty situations, like moving with her sick daughter to a hotel and fostering a passive-aggressive relationship with her own therapist (Conan O’Brien).

Where to watch: HBO Max

‘Mother of Flies’

The Adams filmmaking family, the folks behind the rad “Hellbender,” return with freakier folk horror. When medicine can’t treat her cancer, a dying youngster (Zelda Adams) reaches out to a forest witch (Toby Poser) who uses dark magic to cheat death, but there’s a serious cost involved in this rich and artfully crafted scary movie.

Where to watch: Shudder

‘The Rip’

In Joe Carnahan’s twisty action flick, A-list BFFs Matt Damon and Ben Affleck lead a crew of Miami cops on a cash seizure at a cartel stash house. Rather than the expected several thousand, they instead find a massive $20 million, sparking a night full of shady shenanigans as team members decide whether to do the right thing or keep the money.

Where to watch: Netflix

‘The Smashing Machine’

Even if you’re familiar with The Rock, you’ve likely never seen this side of Dwayne Johnson. The sports biopic follows three formative years in the life of mixed martial arts pioneer Mark Kerr, and Johnson excels at telling an emotionally muscular story that captures the complex soul of a man whose struggles with drugs almost derailed his career.

Where to watch: HBO Max

‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’

Jeremy Allen White was born to run as an American icon, playing New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen in the musical drama. The narrative centers on the making of the singer-songerwriter’s downbeat but introspective 1982 “Nebraska” album, where Springsteen mines childhood traumas while also learning how to be the Boss.

Where to watch: Hulu

‘The Wrecking Crew’

Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa are believable brothers – and have quite the bickering bromance in this fun action flick. The buff pair play estranged Hawaiian siblings who reunite after a decade apart to investigate their private-eye dad’s death, uncover a criminal conspiracy, fight ninjas and leave a trail of destruction and mayhem in their wake.
