Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Sean Baker
Cast: Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan

Stands out as an airy experience full of surprises (big and small), all anchored by the tremendous performance by lead actress Mikey Madison.

An uncommonly perceptive and thought-provoking procedural that ponders the unknowability of any objective truth.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Drama

May skirt the truth when it comes to history but it uncovers a pure vein when exploring Mary’s inner life.

Exists as a reminder not only of a time when filmmakers had more latitude but of the types of production that would find little traction in today’s changed cinematic marketplace.

MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Thriller
Director: Robert Bresson
Cast: Francois Leterrier, Charles Le Clainche, Maurice Beerblock, Roland Monod, Jacques Ertaud

Doesn’t embody the standards nor incorporate the tropes one associates with escape films yet, in its own quiet, insistent way, it’s as good or better than most of them.

Run Time: 2:02
U.S. Release Date: 2019-09-20
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: James Gray
Cast: Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, Ruth Negga

The autumn movie season has a history of hosting impressive, thought-based science fiction movies. To that list add "Ad Astra," a film that uses space exploration as a means to look inward at the essence of humanity.

It remains funny (at times uproarious), romantic, honest, and touching – all the kinds of things one wants from a smart rom-com that refuses to be guided by the genre’s tropes.

Run Time: 3:57
U.S. Release Date: 2011-11-25
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Edward Yang
Cast: Chen Chang, Lisa Yang, Kuo-Chu Chang, Elaine Jin, Chi-tsan Wang, Chih-Kang Tan

With its sprawling tapestry and mini-series length, Edward Yang’s 1991 gangster drama deserves the label of "epic" and warrants comparison to Francis Ford Coppola’s "The Godfather."

Run Time: 1:53
U.S. Release Date: -
MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Drama
Director: Yasujiro Ozu
Cast: Chishu Ryu, Shima Iwashita, Keiji Sada, Mariko Okada, Shin’ichiro Mikami, Nobuo Nakamura, Eijiro Tono, Ryuji Kita

Almost hypnotic in its unhurried and unvarnished study of one middle-aged Japanese man and the way his perspective of life changes, the movie is deserving of the universal praise it has received.

With an unwavering devotion to spectacle and action, the film throws down a gauntlet where this kind of mass team-up is concerned.
