Willem Dafoe is quietly magnificent as a forgotten New York poet whose old work is rediscovered by a group of young dreamers, and the whole thing glows with the ache of second chances. It is tender, wry, and rich with the kind of feeling that lingers, especially once the luminous Greta Lee drifts into the story. Sitting at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, it gives you plenty to unpack together long after the credits roll.

Chloé Zhao turns the tale behind a great tragedy into something breathtakingly intimate, with Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal aching their way through love and grief in a marriage tested by loss. Keep your heart open, as the tagline promises, because this is a film that invites you to hold each other a little closer. At 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.8 on IMDb, it rewards couples who love a beautiful, emotional evening. Just note that screenings are very scarce this week, so you will want to plan ahead to catch it.
