APPLE TV PLUS

Shrinking

Jason Segel co-created this comedy series with Ted Lasso’s Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. He also stars as a therapist struggling with grief.

CRAVE

Official Competition

Penélope Cruz and Antonio Banderas are going meta with this satirical comedy. The Spanish-language film follows an eclectic cast of characters and the hijinks that ensue when they all come together to make a movie. A legacy-obsessed octogenarian millionaire (José Luis Gómez) purchases the rights to a Nobel Prize–winning novel and then hires eccentric filmmaker Lola (Cruz) to make a brilliant piece of art. It’s a tall order, and things don’t get any smoother when the very different co-leads (Banderas and Oscar Martínez) start butting heads. January 27
