Are The Lovebirds and Capone worth a watch?

We’re rolling into a long weekend, and with multiplexes around the country still closed, movie lovers will have to get their fix at home. Among the more high-profile options available to rent or stream are two films once headed for theaters: the hijinks-heavy, crime-themed romantic comedy The Lovebirds, starring Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani; and Capone, Josh Trank’s look at the ignoble final days of the fearsome Chicago gangster, played here by Tom Hardy. Are either worth your time and/or money? On this new episode of Film Club, critics A.A. Dowd and Katie Rife debate the merits of these very different movies, both vying for your Memorial Day attention.
