It’s a big week to be able to see everything — and not just that thing. Sure, there’s an even larger rollout of Nathan Fielder’s supersize Elizabeth Holmes documentary, but we also have the terrifying body-horror outing from nü DC Studios, a family-friendly Laika production, and Oli. Perfect timing for whatever dinner party you were thinking of having now that fall is in full swing
Primetime’s Lance Oppenheim and Nathan Fielder’s three-hour documentary on Elizabeth Holmes has become the must-see movie of the year, and thankfully, now it’s wide.

Meanwhile, Joanne and Noah’s siblings (Justine Lupe and Timothy Simons) are reeling over their broken-up relationships from last season.
Judd Apatow’s documentary on comedian Maria Bamford drops only about a week after the Netflix premiere of Apatow’s other recent comedian documentary, Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald. Anything to get new audiences into her!
Oliffering of the year, The Invite, is now on streaming. Wilde stars with and directs a stellar trio — Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton — in an anxiety-inducing drama of a dinner party between a pair of extremely differing yet similarly bourgeoisie couples
