‘Fackham Hall’
An “Airplane!” spin on “Downton Abbey” you didn’t know you needed.

‘Hamnet’
Prepare to be an emotional wreck by the end of Chloé Zhao’s heartfelt look at William Shakespeare’s family life. Jessie Buckley plays wife Agnes, who raises the kids while Will (Paul Mescal) works in London. Tragedy leads to disconnection between the two, but ultimately also to the creation of “Hamlet” and different ways of dealing with grief.

‘It Was Just an Accident’
Jafar Panahi’s thriller is an unforgettable juggling of serious moral questions and clever screwball comedy. A mechanic (Vahid Mobasseri) accidentally runs into and then kidnaps a man (Ebrahim Azizi) he believes was his torturer in an Iranian jail, then brings in other political prisoners to figure out what to do about him in a breathtaking modern fable.

‘Melania’
Director Brett Ratner’s less-than-revelatory documentary looks at the life of Melania Trump, the former fashion model and wife of President Donald Trump.
