Weapons is decent despite being a polarizing film, Eddington was surprisingly good, and avoid Frankenstein unless you're Canadian and like body positive women and don't care for classic literature.

I haven't seen any of them either (like a lot of the population, with so many damn streaming services, it has to be special for me to pay an additional fee and make time in my schedule to see in person), but even I know:
The Phoenician Scheme - Wes Anderson does another Wes Anderson, diminishing returns continue.
Eddington - Ari Aster (Hereditary) burns through any studio system capital he has left with a movie about living in 2020 that boils down to "People were crazy, and big tech has too much power over our lives and this won't end well"
Marty Supreme - Remember Uncut Gems? Well, they burned through their studio system capital to make another one with Timothee Chalamet in the 50s.
Black Bag - This was a real-ass studio movie (albeit lower budget), directed by Steven Soderbergh, starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as married spies, one of whom may have gone treasonous. That no one here has even heard of it shows how the movie marketing pipeline is probably completely broken - no one sees movies to see trailers, no one watches live TV with ads, and unless you have serious ad budgets for Super Bowl spots, etc., no one will know your movie ever came out. At some point it will all just be Big Budget Studio Slop meant to appeal to 80IQ morons for max ticket sales, and smaller movies made for Netflix that get tiny theater releases for award season qualification.
Beyond that I know It Was Just an Accident, Sorry Baby, Sentimental Value, Train Dreams, and Peter Hujar's Day are all BIG ACTING 'oscar-bait' that should fill out a ton of the award season roster slots.
