Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy wade through nine reviews this week to get you to the few standouts. A couple is presented with the possibility their daughter was switched at birth (A Stranger in My Home) while a team of nitwits try to steal a 35mm print from Quentin Tarantino (Stealing Pulp Fiction). Emma Mackey tries to use Vicky Krieps as a distraction from her invalid mother (Hot Milk) while a drug deal goes south for a sex worker (Ponyboi) and Bryan Cranston tries to keep his family and regional theater afloat (Everything Going To Be Great). Mariska Hargitay remembers her mother Jayne Mansfield (My Mom Jayne) while a woman tries not to forget the life she lived as she slides into dementia (Familiar Touch). Finally the killer A.I. robot goes T2 on us (M3GAN 2.0) and Brad Pitt goes fast in a car with other cars (F1: The Movie).
