WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW

A cheat sheet to the best movies in theaters. Updated 3/28.

For paid subscribers, here is a running list of what I think are the best movies playing this month, or what I am looking forward to checking out. This includes new releases, NYC repertory screenings, and streaming premieres.

Screen Slate, which where I contribute, is an excellent resource that always has an exhaustive list of what’s going on (they post every day). Consider this list my personal recs and your cheat sheet.
