The Mustang
While participating in a rehabilitation program training wild mustangs, a convict at first struggles to connect with the horses and his fellow inmates, but he learns to confront his violent past as he soothes an especially feisty horse.
With a Tomatometer Score of 96 percent and an Audience Score of 64 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "The Mustang" has become a favorite since its release on March 15.
"Like Roman, though, all I longed for were further glimpses of the life outside, where man and beast roam free, oblivious to any narrative demands," according to Barry Hertz of the Globe and Mail, while the Chicago Reader's Andrea Gronvall said, "This film was developed at Robert Redford's Sundance Institute lab for emerging talent; he certainly found one in French actress Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, here making an impressive feature directorial debut."
It's screening at Cinemark Alliance Town Center and XD (9228 Sage Meadow Trail) through Wednesday, April 3. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
Us
Husband and wife Gabe and Adelaide Wilson take their kids to their beach house expecting to unplug and unwind with friends. But as night descends, their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some shocking visitors arrive uninvited.
With a Tomatometer Score of 95 percent and an Audience Score of 71 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Us" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on March 22.
"Ambition in the horror genre can be a good thing, but the overreach in this movie detracts from both the horror and the ambition. Having said that, Peele shows a marked advance in filmmaking skills here and, in her dual role, Nyong'o is ferociously good," noted Peter Rainer of the Christian Science Monitor, while Tribune News Service's Katie Walsh said, "It wouldn't be as truly terrifying as it is without the jaw-dropping performance from his leading lady, Nyong'o, and with this collaboration they have created another whip-smart modern horror classic."
You can catch it at AMC Palace 9 (220 E. Third St.) through Monday, April 1; Movie Tavern Hulen (4920 S. Hulen Road), AMC Eastchase 9 (8301 Ederville Road) and AMC Clearfork 8 (5015 Trailhead Bend Way) through Wednesday, April 3. Click here for showtimes and tickets.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
As Hiccup fulfills his dream of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless’ discovery of an untamed, elusive mate draws the Night Fury away. When danger mounts at home and Hiccup’s reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind.
With a Tomatometer Score of 91 percent and an Audience Score of 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" has become a favorite since its release on Feb. 22. The Atlantic's David Sims said, "So much of The Hidden World is stuffed with filler material. But in certain wordless moments, this grand final entry really sings," and the New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski noted, "The movie could easily be called 'How To End Your Trilogy.' "
