A new thriller about the Nuremberg trials held to prosecute high-ranking Nazi Germany officials following World War II wrestles with the capacity of ordinary men to commit extraordinary evil.

As the historical drama “Nuremberg” (Sony Pictures Classics) successfully reminds its audience, the trials held in the titular German city in the aftermath of World War II almost didn’t happen. What takes place in the uncertain lead-up to them kicks off the film’s action.

Existential issues: the fear of becoming outmoded, of dying unloved, of having one’s work forgotten, are wrestled with in the very loosely fact-based mix of comedy and drama “Blue Moon” (Sony Pictures Classics).

As anyone who saw director Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2023 fantasy “Poor Things” will be aware, the Greek-born filmmaker is capable of bringing deep weirdness to the screen. If further evidence of his capacity in that regard was needed, it’s provided in abundance by his latest offering, “Bugonia” (Focus).

Part teen romance, part emotionally convoluted soap opera, “Regretting You” (Paramount), director Josh Boone’s screen version of Colleen Hoover’s 2019 novel, is ill-suited to the youthful audience at which its source material was aimed. As for mature viewers, they’re likely to find the film’s proceedings both inauthentic and pat.

Despite the occasional push-back against political correctness in Nora Garrett’s script, viewers committed to traditional values will find themselves adrift in director Luca Guadagnino’s psychological thriller “After the Hunt” (Amazon MGM). Considered from an artistic point of view, moreover, the film is talky, pretentious and tiresome.

A surprisingly substantive film, “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” (20th Century) is more a psychological study than a musical biography. As such, it invites those older viewers for whom it’s appropriate to engage with its sometimes troubling story intellectually and emotionally rather than be passively entertained.
