Date Night Picks

Aaron Sorkin turns a young engineer's dangerous decision to blow the whistle on a social network into a sleek, pulse-quickening drama where every conversation feels like a high-wire act. Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, and Jeremy Strong give it a nervy, human heart, so it plays as thriller and character study at once. Expect to spend the walk home happily arguing about who was right.

This is a tender, witty swoon of a film about love and sisterhood, led by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Caitríona Balfe with a warmth that makes you reach for your partner's hand. Georgia Oakley lets every ache and flutter breathe, so it lands as both romance and comfort. Do plan ahead, since it is playing only a handful of times this week at a single venue.
