Rachel McAdams

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe someplace new, and I’m not just talking about the whole, wide multiverse we finally get to see.

Disobedience, the English language debut for Oscar winning Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio, is a restrained, exceptionally acted, and nuanced character study, but also a slight step back for him in terms of difficulty and effectiveness.

Although it’s built upon an outrageous and patently implausible plot that won’t appeal to viewers looking for anything remotely resembling realism, the dark comedy Game Night will appeal to anyone willing to unplug for 100 minutes in service of some strong belly laughs delivered by an expertly cast group of actors.

Rachel McAdams makes her Marvel debut this week as doctor Christine Palmer in Doctor Strange, stepping into the role of Steven Strange’s former love interest as he’s drawn into the world of the occult.
