Date Night Picks

A couple on shaky ground invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbours over for dinner, and the evening tips into deliciously unexpected places. With Olivia Wilde directing a sparkling ensemble of Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz, it is a smart, grown-up comedy you will be dissecting together for hours. It earns a glowing 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb.

A returning classic worth going out of your way for: Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone play an aspiring actress and a jazz musician chasing their dreams while their fragile love affair hangs in the balance. It is as gorgeous and wistful as a date night gets, the kind of film that has you both sighing and reaching for each other. Screenings are very scarce this week, so grab the chance while it lasts. It glows at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.0 on IMDb.
