Summer Under the Stars 2018: Recommendations, August 9 – 15

Hello, movie buffs!

A little update: I’ve decided that for the month of August, SUTS recommendations will be the only posts here on TMP, as I work to catch up on drafting reviews and scheduling fun stuff for fall. So you’ll see me every Wednesday until September 3, when we will return to our regularly-scheduled programming!

For this week’s recs, we’re covering all of the stars from August 9 through 15. Titles are linked to Letterboxd, where you can find more information about the films, including their streaming availability.

On to the movies!
