Capsules on a few of the week's smaller releases:

Jersey Boys

Clint Eastwood’s film of the jukebox musical “Jersey Boys” is the definitive telling of the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, richer because Eastwood takes the time to develop each man’s character (in the stage show, they’re largely indistinguishable).

22 Jump Street, Ivory Tower, Korengal, Elena, The Rover, The Sacrament, Dormant Beauty
