Fandango At Home
Here are premium titles that are available to watch on Vudu this week!
Director Steven Spielberg gets personal in The Fabelmans, telling a keen-eyed yet warm, fictionalized version of how he fell in love with the movies. Michelle Williams and Paul Dano star as the beloved parents of Sammy, played as a teenager by Gabriel LaBelle. His artistic mother and scientific father are united in marriage as they keep moving across the country, until their differences threaten to unravel their relationship. All the while, Sammy pursues his dream of making movies.
In Bones and All, it’s nighttime in America for young Maren (Taylor Russell).

Then they come upon Sully (Mark Rylance), a persuasive character who may offer an escape from their peril.
Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan star in She Said as investigative journalists who are determined to uncover the truth about an infamous Hollywood movie producer. Could be it true that he sexually assaulted women for years without any serious repercussions? Based on a true story, the galvanizing drama also stars Patricia Clarkson, Jennifer Ehle, Angela Yeoh and Andre Braugher; Ashley Judd appears as herself.
Also based on a true story, Till recounts the events that led to the vicious murder of an innocent 14-year-old boy. His grieving, loving mother (Danielle Deadwyler) boldly and repeatedly speaks out in her furious search for justice, helping to spark the civil rights movement in the United States.
And you thought your family had problems! Toni Collette and Anna Faris star as sisters in the smart comedy The Estate. They agree to team up so they can enhance their chances of inheriting a fortune controlled by their Aunt Hilda (Kathleen Turner), but are dismayed to realize that other family members, including David Duchovny and Rosemarie DeWitt, are scheming to do the same thing.
