From the vault of endless obscure national holidays which serve no purpose other than to fill the headline void on slow news days, tomorrow is National Dessert Day, and Americans everywhere are rejoicing over a new excuse to justify their excessively unhealthy diets.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week, whose title comes from a 1964 song from the album Beatles for Sale, is a documentary chronicling the band's 250 concerts between 1963 and 1966 as well as the cultural revolution that occurred in large part due to their rise to fame. The film, expertly directed and produced by Hollywood vet Ron Howard, contains an incredible amount of touring footage and an obviously great soundtrack, but ultimately lacks the engaging storytelling to be anything more than a well-made love letter to the band John Lennon (perhaps accurately) once called “more popular than Jesus.”

The Innocents, co-written and directed by Anne Fontaine, is a French foreign language film that chronicles the true story of a group of nuns in 1945 Poland that were unwillingly impregnated by several Soviet soldiers, as well as the Red Cross doctor who was burdened with the task of taking care of the women and delivering their babies. While the movie does not veer outside the realm of most historical dramas in its methodical and pragmatic approach to the subject matter, it is nonetheless extremely well-made and during more than a few scenes as emotionally affecting as any other film of its kind.

Pretentious is a word thrown around quite a bit in the film industry, a label often carelessly slapped on any minor indie drama that boldly rejects the rigid conventions of storytelling in favor of a fresh and unique perspective. Little Men, the story of a feud between two families and how that conflict came to affect their children’s friendship, in no way embodies such a damning term. One could very well argue that the film, co-written and directed by critical darling Ira Sachs (Love is Strange, Keep the Lights On), is so utterly bland, empty-headed and at times downright incoherent, that the only possible description that could begin to encompass its at-times impressive level of stupidity would be thoughtless, aggressively unironic indifference.

Southside with You, starring relative unknowns Parker Sawyers and Tika Sumpter as younger versions of our country’s current President and First Lady, is at its core a serviceable late summer romance with an underdeveloped and bland political spin, nothing less and certainly nothing more. Sorely lacking any sense of inspiration or purpose, writer and director Richard Tanne spends most of his first feature film’s 84-minute runtime falling back on the well-developed chemistry of his two leads, and it’s a strong testament to their acting ability that the movie never fell from the realm of mediocrity.
