Rick (Christian Bale) is a successful screenwriter living a life of excess between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in Knight of Cups.

Roy (Michael Shannon) goes on the run in Midnight Special with a friend (Joel Edgerton) to protect Roy’s young son Alton (Jaeden Lieberher) and to uncover the truth behind the boy’s special powers.

Fourteen years after the original hit movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the entire cast is back in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. Toula’s (Nia Vardalos) parents find out they were never legally married — so, of course, the family decides to plan an official wedding for them. With the addition of Toula and Ian’s (John Corbett) teenaged daughter Paris (Elena Kampouris), the movie follows the Portokalos family’s shenanigans while planning an even bigger and even Greek-er wedding.

Nestled in Norway’s Sunnmøre region, the mountain Åkerneset towers above the small tourist village of Geiranger in The Wave. Although beautiful, the mountain is constantly at risk of collapsing into the fjordt. Geologist Kristian (Kristoffer Joner) has worked for several years at Geiranger’s warning centre, but is now moving on to a prestigious job with an oil company. At least, that was the plan. The exact day he’s about to drive his family to their new life in the city, Kristian senses something isn’t right. Something is shifting in the mountain. When the mountain begins to crumble, every soul in Geiranger has to get to high ground before a tsunami hits.

The Oscar-nominated Colombian drama Embrace of the Serpent follows Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and last survivor of his people, over the course of 30 years — between 1909 and 1940 — as he works with two scientists to search for the rare healing plant yakruna. Loosely based on the diaries of German scientist Theodor Koch-Grunberg and American scientist Richard Evans Schultes.
