Changing The Game (Hulu 6/1), a festival-feted documentary that follows three trans teen athletes.
Woman In Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek, And The Remaking Of NASA (Paramount+ 6/3) goes where no Trekkie-courting doc has gone before.
Rat Film director Theo Anthony returns with
All Light, Everywhere (select theaters 6/4), an essay film about the relationship between camera technology and human biases. A struggling actress flails through the aftermath of a relationship with a counterterrorism specialist in Paul Felten and Joe DeNardo’s scrappy American indie
Slow Machine (virtual theaters 6/4). Kelvin Harris Jr., Charlie Plummer, and Jacob Latimore embark on a 48-hour bender/rampage in Nabil Elderkin’s
1. Undine
Writer-director Christian Petzold s romantic drama reimagines the titular water nymph mythological figure as a historian (Paula Beer) living in modern day Berlin who develops a relationship with a diver (Franz Rogowski.) Reuniting Petzold with the two leads of his previous movie Transit, which boldly blended a World War II-era novel with the present day, Undine may not quite reach the level of that film or his haunting post-Holocaust noir Phoenix. Yet it s another inspired pairing of past and contemporary elements that have made Petzold among the most exciting filmmakers working today.
Where to watch: Limited release in theaters including Burns Court Cinemas and on demand Friday

The Amusement Parkis technically not a horror film, but it might just be the most disturbing, scariest thing
George A. Romero ever directed. Romero became renowned for his iconic
Night of the Living Dead, but it often felt like we took the filmmaker – who died in 2017 – for granted. He remained a true outsider for the majority of his career, and we lost something special when he shuffled off this mortal coil.
The Amusement Park, an educational film Romero helmed in 1973 that is only now seeing the light of day, is a perfect illustration of Romero’s talent – and his dark, cynical worldview. Here, he turns what could’ve been a forgotten bit of industrial filmmaking into something shocking, surreal, and altogether upsetting. It’s the work of a master who has been handed next to nothing and still managed to create a singular work of art.
