Movies That Make You Think — Part 17

Four very different stories, but all built around the same pressure: what happens when you want connection, answers, or control badly enough.

Friendship (Max)

A painfully funny black comedy about adult male friendship — the need to belong curdling into something else.

Weapons (Max)

A town comes apart when a classroom of kids vanishes in the middle of the night — dread, rumor, and a mystery that won’t stay contained.

Miracle (Hulu)

A sports classic about belief and discipline — a reminder that “impossible” is often a story people tell themselves until it isn’t.

If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You (Max)

A raw, darkly funny pressure‑cooker about caregiving, identity, and the thin line between “holding it together” and unraveling.
