You can catch it at Century Roseville 14 and XD (1555 Eureka Road) through Wednesday, March 6 and UA Olympus Pointe Stadium 12 (520 N. Sunrise Ave.) through Thursday, March 7. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 66 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "The Favourite" has garnered plenty of praise since its release in December of 2018. "Weisz and Stone are both brilliantly witty and nimble, but Colman's performance is nothing short of sublime," noted A.O. Scott of "The New York Times," while "The Atlantic"'s David Sims said, "Despite its period setting, "The Favourite" just might be Lanthimos's most trenchant and relevant work yet."

"The New York Post"'s Johnny Oleksinski said, "The movie could easily be called 'How To End Your Trilogy,' and "New York Magazine"/"Vulture"'s David Edelstein said, "For some, it'll be a moving conclusion to an epic series. For others, it'll be one less kids' franchise to worry about."

Green Book
Tony Lip, a bouncer in 1962, is hired to drive pianist Don Shirley on a tour through the Deep South in the days when African Americans, forced to find alternate accommodations and services due to segregation laws below the Mason-Dixon Line, relied on a guide called The Negro Motorist Green Book.
With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. "The Atlantic"'s Christopher Orr said, "First-rate execution can't solve all of a film's problems, but Mortensen and Ali offer a reminder that it can solve an awful lot of them," while Joshua Rothkopf of "Time Out" said, "Call this actors' duet sentimental and simplistic at your own peril. 'Green Book' may well move you, possibly to tears, at the thought of real social change and kindness (at a time when we need it badly)."
