Alejandro G. Iñárritu turns the most powerful man in the world loose on a frantic quest to prove he's humanity's savior before the disaster he set in motion swallows everything. Tom Cruise leads a razor-sharp ensemble with Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, and Sandra Hüller, and the whole thing crackles with the kind of smart, biting comedy you'll be quoting to each other for days. Its tagline says it all: a man, a plan, a meltdown.

Olivia Wilde directs and stars alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz in this romance where a couple on thin ice invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors to dinner, and the night spirals somewhere neither expected. It's warm, wicked, and just a little dangerous, the perfect mix of romance and comedy for two people who love reading a room together. Sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's a treat, though screenings are hard to come by this week, so grab it while you can.
