Freeze Frame: “Boston Strangler” (R), “Moving On” (R), “The Magician’s Elephant” (PG), “One Fine Morning” (R)

The Hulu drama “Boston Strangler” is a workmanlike journalistic procedural about the two women, played by Keira Knightly and Carrie Coon, who in the 1960s were credited with breaking the story of the infamous serial killer while breaking the glass ceiling for female reporters. “Boston Strangler” capably captures the considerable...
