Rob Zombie's "The Munsters" (2022) is a colorful and goofy reimagining of the classic sitcom, celebrated for its unique brand of humor and vibrant production design.
"Showing Up" (2022) offers an intimate and quietly funny portrait of a sculptor's struggles with artistic life and personal challenges, showcasing a strong collaboration between director Kelly Reichardt and star Michelle Williams.
