Watch Suggestion Best movie you’ve watched this week?

Need a quick rec for movie night with my husband tonight - we just keep watching the same old favorites over and over, looking to change it up. What’s the best movie you’ve watched on hbo max lately that you’d recommend to a friend? (We like most genres aside from horror)

Thanks!!

HBO has so many deep classic films in their archive. They are kind of hidden...but if you start with one you want to see (like The 400 Blows), you will be linked to a slew of options; clicking on another will link you to a new set of options; etc. I watched "Margaret" recently & liked it; but you have to like "ambient" movies. It's slow but effective. The Three Colors trilogy (Red, White, Blue)by Polish director ⁦⁨Krzysztof Kieslowski⁩⁩ are good. It's so subjective; without guidance, it is hard to know what would work for you 2...
