This week's picks for Bern

David Ayer drops Brad Pitt into the Alaskan wilderness as a downed Special Forces officer fighting the elements alongside his combat dog Odin, and the big screen makes that brutal fight for survival hit hard. It is playing in English in Bern, and at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDb it brings the stakes and momentum you want. J.K. Simmons fills out the cast.

Georgia Oakley's Sense and Sensibility is exactly the kind of romance that melts a shared evening into something cozy and glowing. Daisy Edgar-Jones and Caitríona Balfe anchor a charming, deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood, the sort of film that leaves you reaching for each other's hand. At 79% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.2 on IMDb, it is tender, funny, and made for talking over afterward.
