Weekly Recap: Operation Finale, Searching, The Little Stranger & More!


So, Operation Finale opened a little earlier in the week, but it matters little because the film is merely decent at best. Searching opens wide this week, however, and it's easily the best film opening wide this week. The Little Stranger has something for fans of gothic cinema, but I found it underwhelming. Also up, reviews for this week's new home releases, along with my write-up for the season finale of Preacher. Lastly, be sure to enjoy both new podcasts this week, especially our Crazy Rich Asians episode, as we cover a lot of ground in that discussion. Enjoy and thanks for reading!

In Theaters Now:

(An interesting story in a lightweight film)

(Solid thriller with a great use of its visual conceit) 

(Gothic cinema done okay)
