Olivia Wilde

New releases "Boss in Distress" by Gregg Araki and "Finish the Night" by Will Gluck are hitting theaters. Despite their provocative themes, both films ultimately preach more restraint than liberation.

Twelve years after his last feature, director Gregg Araki returns with "Boss in Distress." However, his attempts to shock the audience feel outdated, predictable, and lack the sharp edge of his earlier work.

The new film starring Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, and Charli XCX explores a BDSM relationship between a provocative artist and her assistant. Despite its stylish aesthetic and interesting questions about the generation gap, the film fails to leave a lasting impact.
