Foreign movies worth waiting for
After a hot July at the box office, thanks to Disney’s hits Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine, we arrive at a sluggish August where tentpole films continue their reign and where studios typically launch a wide variety of content in hopes of finding success. Our picks for the strongest contenders arrive within a weekend of each other: Zoë Kravitz’s debut feature as director, the thriller Blink Twice. August has typically been something of a dumping ground when it comes to horror movies, The Crow and Harold and the Purple Crayon marks the first film adaptation of the beloved children’s classic by Crockett Johnson.
