Grab your knives and head back into the blender of sweat, anxiety, self-loathing, and Jamie Lee Curtis for one last meal service. Is Carmy actually gone? How will Sydney take to restaurant ownership? Will the show give up the comedy thing and finally run in the drama category come awards season? One more chance to find out. —Nicholas Quah
➽ You did good, cousin.
➽ In theaters; read the full review.
The latest Jackass is a celebration of its 25-year history, a mix of new and old footage of Johnny Knoxville and his band of stunt-addicted weirdos. Maybe that’s not as appealing for newbies? It is a great way to rocket through the franchise in one go, though, and for those eager to see Jackass in theaters one more time, here’s your chance.
If You’re in New York or Los Angeles …
➽ Romería, Carla Simón’s delicate, devastating semi-autobiographical film, starts as a summer trip to a Galician port town for 18-year-old Marina (Llúcia Garcia) and turns into something much more intense, immersing its young heroine in a biological family she’s never met. Against the stunning backdrop of Spain’s Atlantic coast, Marina teases out details about the father she never knew and the mother she barely did, and what emerges is a secret history of bohemianism, addiction, and shame. —Alison Willmore
➽ The Invite, Olivia Wilde’s farcical follow-up to Don’t Worry Darling, revolves around a (swinger) dinner party of four. —S.S.
➽ Quill stars Geoffrey Rush as a compulsively horny Marquis de Sade! Screenwriter Douglas Wright, who wrote the play on which was based, will sit for a post-screening conversation with writer Isaac Butler at the Museum of the Moving Image. (Sunday, 1 p.m.) —A.W.
Watching Avatar outside of a movie theater is not necessarily the way of James Cameron — no 3-D! But nonetheless, his third film in the franchise finally hit streaming this week. In the wake of The Way of Water, the Sully family is still reeling from the death of Neteyam and trying to dodge the murderous Quaritch (Stephen Lang). This time, the fire Na’vi known as the Ash People partner with the villain to burn it all down.
Produced by Diablo Cody, Forbidden Fruits stars Lili Reinhart as Apple, the leader of a cult of witches in a Texas shopping mall. When Apple invites new member Pumpkin (Lola Tung) into their close-knit circle, the shifting social dynamics cause the girls to violently unravel.
➽ Plus Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters is on VOD, and podcast horror movie Undertone is on HBO Max. (Bust out your fancy headphones for the latter.)
