The Salesman

Nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film, Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi's latest domestic masterwork is about young husband-and-wife actors whose world falls apart when an intruder almost assaults the wife. Her husband becomes possessed by rage and vengeance and loses his humanity.

PG-13

The Lego Batman Movie Witty animated sequel to the surprise hit original, with Will Arnett providing the voice of lonely recluse Batman, who falls for the police commissioner's daughter (Rosario Dawson) and adopts an orphan (Michael Cera) who becomes Robin. Fast-paced, full of jokes that draw from the long history of Batman comic books, movies, and television shows. Zach Galifianakis is the voice of the Joker. PG

Hidden Figures Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe are terrific in this feel-good family movie about a group of black female mathematicians who worked at NASA during the 1960s. What it lacks in serious history it makes up for with an empowering social message. PG
