Ford v Ferrari looks like just an action film about race car drivers, but it hides hidden depth and great acting, creating a tense but simple plot. This film wasn’t just nominated for Best Picture, but also best Film Editing, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. Starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, two Academy Award winners, it’ll be an on-the-edge-of-your-seat experience. Sadly, it’ll be a movie seat, because the only place to see it is a theater.

Director Taika Waititi may be known for his comedies (Ragnarok, What We Do In The Shadows), and while Jojo Rabbit is undeniably hilarious, it forces you to confront the beliefs you’ve been taught your entire life. It’s the story of a young german boy, Jojo, in Nazi Germany who has to fix his blind nationalism when he discovers that his family is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic. There’ll be tears alright, both from laughing and from sobbing. Jojo Rabbit is currently on a limited rerelease, with showings at places like AMC Veterans and Tampa Theatre.

The film came out on Christmas, so it’s still showing in theaters nationwide.

A movie about World War One might not feel new, but 1917 has a twist.

It realistically depicts the brutality of the first World War, as humanity struggled to adjust to the horrific weapons they could now make. It won Best Picture at the Golden Globes, and is still showing in most theaters because of its December release date.
