Critics review “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” an adaptation of August Wilson’s play of the same name, about the legendary blues singer Ma Rainey, played by Viola Davis; “Education,” the fifth and final installment of director Steve McQueen's “Small Axe” series about pivotal moments of Black British history; “Greenland,” about an apocalyptic series of comets hitting the earth’s surface; “Tenet,” Christopher Nolan’s much anticipated film about a secret agent who tries to prevent World War III.
