Ridley Scott directs this medieval tale starring Jodie Comer, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Adam Driver.

Netflix is hoping this Western will get it the best picture Oscar it's been seeking for years.

Directed by Jane Campion ("The Piano," "Top of the Lake"), we follow an intimidating rancher (Benedict Cumberbatch) who opens himself up to love when his brother (Jesse Plemons) brings home his new wife (Kirsten Dunst).

The movie also stars Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ed Harris.

Pedro Almodóvar's latest movie once again showcases the talents of his muse, Penélope Cruz. Here we follow two mothers (one of them played by Cruz) who give birth on the same day.
