Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, F1 The Movie is engaging and entertaining, building momentum and laying the...

Link copied to clipboard Sign in to your ScreenRant account I’m not entirely sure what to make of Hurry Up Tomorrow. Directed and edited by Trey Edward Shults, from a screenplay by him, Abel Tesfaye (better known as the artist The Weeknd) and Reza Fahim, the film is inspired by Tesfaye’s experience and serves as a companion piece to his album of the same name, which released earlier this year.
