August is extremely light on any major video releases. These are a few of the recommended titles available this month.
Men is a horror film written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) about a woman (Jessie Buckley) retreating alone to the English countryside following a personal tragedy. But someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears.
Nitram revolves around the life and behaviors of an intellectually disabled young man and the events leading to his involvement in the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, Australia.
Ali & Ava is about two lonely people who develop a deep connection despite the lingering legacy of their past relationships.
Mr. Malcom’s List, set right in the middle of Regency-era England’s marriage competition, revolves around eligible bachelor, Mr. Jeremy Malcolm, and his search for a wife.
The Phantom of the Open stars Mark Rylance as Maurice Flitcroft, a dreamer and unrelenting optimist who managed to gain entry to The British Open Golf Championship Qualifying in 1976 and subsequently became a folk hero by shooting the worst round in Open history.
