A rousing stage musical, “Strike!” that premiered in 2005, has been transformed into the movie musical “Stand!” which had a successful run in Canada and is poised to play the film festival circuit in the United States after a coronavirus-induced halt last year.

Vengeance-driven vigilantism is the order of the day in “Promising Young Woman” (Focus).
