'The Banshees of Inisherin' review: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson bring friendly fire to dark comedy

If you want to see Colin Farrell go for an Oscar: 'The Banshees of Inisherin'

As funny as it is bleak, the dark comedy centers on a likable guy (Farrell) on a remote Irish island who one day discovers his older best pal (Gleeson) wants nothing to do with him anymore. The news doesn't go over well and an escalating feud breaks out in a superb exploration of friendship, isolation and mortality.

If you're into 1980s family strife: 'Armageddon Time'

Director James Gray's semi-autobiographical drama stars Banks Repeta as a Jewish youngster who clashes with his parents (Jeremy Strong and Anne Hathaway) and is sent to a private school. The coming-of-age film is awash in subplots but Anthony Hopkins has a great turn as the grandpa imparting life lessons to the troubled kid.

If you're a Millie Bobby Brown superfan: 'Enola Holmes 2'

The "Stranger Things" star's spunky Victorian-era sleuth strikes out on her own in a solid sequel that borrows from real British history. Enola is hired to find a missing matchstick girl, uncovers a conspiracy and teams up with older brother Sherlock (Cavill) in a narrative that adds infamous pieces of the Holmes mythos to the young-adult franchise.

If you live for the days of 'My Bologna' and 'Eat It': 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story'

Radcliffe straps on an accordion and lip-syncs like a champ playing the pop icon in a comedy that fittingly parodies music biopics. It starts off as a normal true-life story and then flies entertainingly off the rails with a ton of fun cameos, including Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey and Evan Rachel Wood as a delightfully diabolical Madonna.

If you've been missing peak Jennifer Lawrence: 'Causeway'

In her best role since an Oscar-winning turn in "Silver Linings Playbook," Lawrence plays a soldier who suffers a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan, comes home to New Orleans and cleans pools while hoping to be redeployed. Brian Tyree Henry also stands out in the engaging drama as a pal who understands her pain.

Where to watch: Apple TV+

If you heart Harry Styles and/or gay love stories: 'My Policeman'

Taking place in the 1950s and ’90s, the British ensemble drama features Styles (in his best role to date) as a closeted cop who marries a schoolteacher (Emma Corrin) but fosters a secret affair with their mutual friend, a museum curator (David Dawson). It works as a socially conscious effort, albeit with underdeveloped characters.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video

If you dig oddball road movies: 'Next Exit'

A research scientist (Karen Gillan) makes the game-changing discovery she can track people in the afterlife, and two suicidal strangers (Katie Parker and Rahul Kohli) hit the road to be a part of her study (which effectively ends one's life). It's a great premise that puts a supernatural, life-affirming spin on the usual banter-filled cinematic car trip.

Where to watch: In theaters and on Apple TV

If you're in the mood for something strange: 'Something in the Dirt'

In the bonkers sci-fi dramedy, Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson direct and star as new LA neighbors who discover something peculiar occurring with an ashtray in one of their apartments. They set out to make a documentary to prove the weirdness is legit and personality conflicts turn them into hostile frenemies.

If you're down with 1970s psychological horror: 'Nocebo'

Shades of "Don't Look Now" and other throwback chillers permeate this freaky tale of a children's fashion designer (Eva Green) suffering from memory loss and a mysterious illness. A Filipino nanny (Chai Fonacier) shows up to use extreme healing methods in a folk horror tale with a predictable twist that still manages to land the needed gut punch.

If you're all about quirky alien comedies: 'I'm Totally Fine'

Vanessa (Jillian Bell) needs a quiet holiday to mourn the death of her best friend and business partner Jennifer (Natalie Morales).
