 It's a right smart o' wind that's whipping things around these days ...

A series of vignettes tracks ordinary Iranians navigating their administrative processes, "Terrestrial Verses." 

Michael Showalter ("Hello, My Name Is Doris," "The Big Sick," "The Eyes of Tammy Faye") directs Anne Hathaway as a 40-year-old woman romancing a boy toy from a boy band, "The Idea of You."

We never made it through the three-hour "Drive My Car," but we'll take a chance on Ryusuke Hamaguchi's shorter follow-up, a slow burn about a town under siege by developers, "Evil Does Not Exist."

From Lithuania, a dancer falls for a great guy who happens to be asexual, leading to expected problems,  "Slow."
