About this deal
Todd Haynes reunites with frequent collaborator Julianne Moore, who plays Gracie Atherton-Yoo, a Savannah housewife who once went to jail for having a sexual relationship with the 13-year-old boy who’s now her 23-years-younger husband (Charles Melton). Gracie’s efforts to smooth over the scandals of the past start to fail when an actress (Natalie Portman) who’s been cast to play Gracie in a movie arrives to shadow the couple, asking questions they aren’t entirely ready to answer. It’s Ingmar Bergman’s Persona by way of Mary Kay Letourneau. ( In theaters November 17.) — A.W. Next Goal Wins

Kenneth Branagh’s latest Hercule Poirot mystery adapts one of Agatha Christie’s lesser-known works, 1969’s Hallowe’en Party, and ports the action (a murder at a séance) from a small English village to Venice. Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey, and Branagh’s Belfast boys Jamie Dornan and Jude Hill are among the suspects — or, perhaps, the victims. ( In theaters September 15.) — Nate Jones Dumb Money In this dystopian sci-fi thriller from Welsh Rogue One director Gareth Edwards, AI is the enemy. John David Washington plays an ex-special forces agent in a world of robots-versus-humans warfare tasked with a mission to assassinate the elusive mastermind behind advanced artificial-intelligence tech that could either obliterate mankind or finally enable lasting peace. Traveling into the “dark heart of AI-occupied territory,” however, David discovers the weapon he’s hunting is but a small child (or at least a cyborg in kid’s clothing), triggering some latent paternal instinct. From there, at least judging from its trailer, there are more tonal similarities to Children of Men than The Terminator. ( In theaters September 29.) — C.L.
