“It's not ghosts. It's not supernatural. It's... It's America. And it's everywhere.”

'Motherless Brooklyn' is a 1950s whodunit made by its star, Edward Norton. Like most detective films in this setting, the cast is mostly white males (with a few notable exceptions).

Nick Rowland’s She Rides Shotgun is a blistering, blood-soaked road thriller that doubles as a bruised love story between a haunted ex-con (a career-best Taron Egerton) and the daughter he barely knows (astonishing newcomer Ana Sophia Heger).

It’s gritty, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—a father-daughter odyssey destined to leave audiences shaken.
