Date Night Picks

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return as the Owens sisters, facing down a dark family curse in this cozy blend of romance, fantasy and comedy from director Susanne Bier. It has the warm, moonlit, slightly witchy atmosphere that makes for a snug and swoony night in each other's company. Playing widely this week, it is an easy yes when you want enchantment over effort.

Leo Woodall plays a gifted piano tuner whose ear for a perfect note turns out to be an ear for cracking safes, in a sleek crime drama that pulls you in quietly and never lets go. With Dustin Hoffman along for the ride, it is exactly the stylish, low-key thriller that sparks conversation once the lights come up, sitting pretty at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.2 on IMDb. Screenings are on the thin side this week, so lock in your evening early rather than leaving it to chance.
