You could say that the first "Summer blockbuster" is released this week, but if you choose to skip it, there is still a diverse array of films being released this week. From music dramas to horror films and postmodern coming-of-age stories, there looks to be something for everybody.

A great week for new releases, with Terrence Malick's latest divisive work and Ken Loach's Jury Prize winner joined by a biopic, an acclaimed comedy, and Brandon Cronenberg's futuristic, celebrity-obsessed satire. Many of these films are dividing critics (to varying degrees), but with such a wide range of genre and style, there's something for everybody this week.

Lots of new releases today, but not a ton of new reviews. The big reason, it seems, is that none of these new releases are doing particularly well with critics, many of them falling in in the "C" and low "B" area of our Criticwire scale. Nonetheless, with so many choices, you're bound to find something that works for you.
