I know and care about as much about The Boss now as I did before going into Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. A handful of good performances but a dour, uninteresting drama that’s lacking in story. Feels like it’s been fed through a music biopic AI generator.

With dirt under his fingernails and sadness in his soul, Mike shifts from one desperate situation to the next in social-surrealist drama Urchin, an inventive portrait of contemporary British homelessness. Dillane is magnetic. Dickinson is a directorial voice to be reckoned with.

Far less deep and thought-provoking than Aronofsky’s earlier oeuvre, crime thriller Caught Stealing gets a LOT out of Austin Butler’s charm and big screen magnetism. Not sure the comedic style withstands the dark plot beats, but it’s a compelling ride through grimy New York City.
