The Globe guide to the 2. If you are reading this, congratulations are in order – you survived the summer movie season. Typically, this would be nothing to crow about. Yet with handful of late- arriving exceptions (why did it take you so long to enter our lives, Logan Lucky, Atomic Blonde, War for the Planet of the Apes and Dunkirk?), the past four months have been an endurance test for moviegoers. One day, historians will look back on the summer of 2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Baywatch, King Arthur and Alien: Covenant (and that was just the May releases).

Fortunately, the fall movie season offers its own reboot: four months of awards bait, prestige dramas, and movies divorced of any cross- platform corporate synergry. While Borg/Mc. Enroe has the appeal (if that's the right word) of Shia La. Beouf, Battle of the Sexes has Oscar bona fides in its corner, with Emma Stone playing feminist icon Billie Jean King and Steve Carell taking on chauvinistic showboat Bobby Riggs. Don't dwell too long on the awkward fact that Stone played Carell's daughter in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Stronger. If you can believe it, 2. Boston Marathon bombing.

But then Peter Berg's Patriots Day combined two projects into one, and the other half of the story is picked up here by director David Gordon Green. Leaving the cops- and- terrorists angle to Mark Wahlberg and Co., Stronger focuses on one man, real- life survivor Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal), who lost his legs in the blast. Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany plays Bauman's girlfriend Erin Hurley, though (spoiler alert for real life) the pair split earlier this year, which means the love story could prove a marketing challenge. Good luck, Stronger PR team. Victoria and Abdul. Judi Dench plays .

But if you must know more: Dench plays Queen Victoria (for the second time, after 1. Mrs Brown) in this biographical film pivoting on her relationship with Indian servant Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal). Stephen Frears's drama doesn't scream Oscar, because that wouldn't be very royal, but it does infer the notion rather delicately. Breathe. Erstwhile CGI monkey man Andy Serkis drops the performance- capture routine to step behind the camera for this period romance.

It's based on the real- life relationship of Robin Cavendish (Andrew Garfield) and Diana Blacker (Claire Foy), as the former becomes paralyzed after contracting polio. So far.) The drama is technically Serkis's directorial debut, although he shot a non- Disney reboot of Jungle Book before Breathe. Serkis's take on Rudyard Kipling will come out in October, 2. Jon Favreau iteration, I'm sure. Wonderstruck. The reaction was mixed when Todd Haynes's latest made its debut at Cannes, but it would be unwise to discount the Carol director so quickly. Here, Haynes spins a decades- spanning tale of youth and romance, and brings frequent collaborator Julianne Moore along for the myth- making.

Last Flag Flying. A quasi- sequel to Hal Ashby's 1. The Last Detail, Richard Linklater's new dramedy adapts Darryl Ponicsan's novel to tell the tale of three middle- aged friends who reconnect due to a death in one of the men's families. Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell and Laurence Fishburne star/launch their latest Oscar campaigns. Story continues below advertisement. Roman J. Israel, Esq.

The latest update on this Denzel Washington vehicle is that it added a . Perhaps to give it that much more gravitas? We'll see when the Dan Gilroy ( Nightcrawler) flick hits screens, though at least the logline – . Goodbye Christopher Robin. Oh, bother – one look at the tear- jerking trailer for this A.

A. Milne biopic and you will surely want to drown your sorrows in a bucket full of honey. Or maybe that's just the Eeyore in me. Regardless, expect awards chatter around the performances of Domhnall Gleeson as Milne and Margot Robbie as his wife, Daphne. Wonder. Not to be confused with Todd Haynes' Wonderstruck – or Wonder Woman, or the forthcoming Wonder Wheel, or the new Professor Marston & the Wonder Women; listen, you're all smart people, you'll get it – Wonder is director Stephen Chbosky's Mask- esque biopic about August Pullman, a young boy with facial differences who takes tentative steps into the outside world. The drama casts everyone's favourite tiny Canadian, Jacob Tremblay, as August, and Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson as his parents. Oh, and just to ensure your heart will break into a 1. Mandy Patinkin plays August's kindly teacher.

Bring Kleenex and accept your fate as a tear- stained wreck. The Disaster Artist. Tommy Wiseau's so- bad- it's- actually- bad cult film The Room is not for everyone. James Franco is also an acquired taste. Combining the two elements seems like an idea born out of malice, but the buzz on this comedy, which casts Franco as Wiseau, has been shockingly strong since a working cut debuted at the South By Southwest festival. Franco, never one to back away from a challenge, also directs, and brings along famous family members (brother Dave Franco, sister- in- law Alison Brie) and friends (Seth Rogen, Paul Scheer) along for the ride. But as a sidebar to the anticipated, though necessary, think- pieces on Allen's personal history, expect a few unexpected conversations about Jim Belushi, who apparently gives a captivating turn as a schlub who loses his wife (Kate Winslet) to a younger man (Justin Timberlake).

Combine this with the critical goodwill he's earned in the Twin Peaks revival and this could be the Year of Belushi, a Year. Lushi, one might say. It certainly wouldn't be the strangest thing to happen in 2. The Shape of Water.

Guillermo del Toro dives back into Pan's Labyrinth territory with this twisty Cold War- era fairy tale about a lonely woman's romance with what can only be described as a mer- man. Sally Hawkins and Doug Jones (del Toro's go- to guy for playing amphibious heroes) play the starfish- crossed lovers, while professional villain Michael Shannon is the Bible thumper determined to tear them apart.

Call Me by Your Name. One movie always comes out of the Sundance Film Festival with the collective goodwill of every single critic who made it to the top of Park City, Utah. This year, that honour belongs to Call Me by Your Name, writer James Ivory's adaptation of Andr. Set in Italy in the eighties, director Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash) follows the intensifying relationship between the teenage Elio (Timoth. Although some of Sundance's buzzier titles die on the mountain, expect this one to come down with the fury of an avalanche. Darkest Hour. As demonstrated by America's fondness for volcanoes and asteroids, sometimes a year at the movies is just not complete until you have two movies on the same subject.

This year, the unlikely repeat offender is Winston Churchill, who got the biopic treatment this spring via the Brian Cox- starring Churchill and will again dominate the screen with this Gary Oldman drama. This is good news for Churchill aficionados, who could only be disappointed by the wan script and ludicrous direction that drowned out Cox's performance. After all, if you're going through hell, keep going. Documentary Films Dvd Girls Trip (2017). Downsizing. Alexander Payne's latest might best be described as Ant- Man meets The Descendants. Or Honey, I Shrunk My Neuroses.

Either way, the director's latest dark comedy is bound to captivate far more than those awful stabs at humour, as it focuses on a couple (Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig) who decide to shrink themselves in an overcrowded world. That is, until one half of the couple backs out. Hilarity, and lots of pained awkwardness and midlife lessons, surely ensue. The Current War. It's okay, you can admit it: A movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch playing Thomas Edison sounds like something he may have already made before. Wasn't it called The Fifth Estate Game or something? But the staid idea gets far more electric (pun most certainly intended) when you add in Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse.
