Party movies always try to be about more than a party. Like one of the genre’s most famous entries,
Dazed and Confused, they usually feature adolescents on the precipice of early adulthood.
The Get Together, the latest from Texan filmmaker Will Bakke and his cowriter Michael B. Allen, and now available for streaming, centers on a quintessentially modern phenomenon: college graduates caught somewhere between adolescence and adulthood and looking for a distraction from their jobs, roommates, and changing relationships.
The Get Together offers a glimpse of the joys and pains of becoming an adult, but it doesn’t dig deep enough.

Movie theaters are slowly reopening for the summer season, but new streaming films are still coming home to entertain you and your family during socially distanced times.
This weekend is headlined by two A-list actresses: Amy Adams stars as an agoraphobic New Yorker who witnesses a murder (or does she?) in a Netflix mystery thriller while Angelina Jolie is a Montana smokejumper protecting a boy from assassins and an out-of-control wildfire in an HBO Max survival flick.
