"By turns tender and raucous, Pamela Adlon’s feature-length directorial debut, Babes, spins the uneasy, unwelcome, weirdly cool corporeal realities of pregnancy into heartfelt comic gold." - Rocco T. Thompson, Slant Magazine

This electrifying brand-new play directed by Sam Mendes brings Richard Burton and John Gielgud’s infamous Hamlet rehearsals to the big screen, with Johnny Flynn and Mark Gatiss.

Why would the most famous movie star in the world choose to do a play which everyone already knows? And what lures us back to the same plays, year after year?

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS! An audacious, visually stylized omnibus of what-ifs, RUN LOLA RUN is a high-octane pulse-pounder driven by style, speed, deviously clever flourishes and a driving techno-beat!

"An exuberant and creative film game that amps things up for a run of nonstop action that tantalizes the senses and bombards the mind with an adrenaline rush of stimuli." - Marjorie Baumgartner, Austin Chronicle

"What's more, this stylish, hugely likeable bit of adrenaline-pumped Euro-nonsense should shatter the illusions of those convinced that all subtitled fare is musty, wordy and dull." - Caroline Westbrook, Empire Magazine

After 25 years, we're thrilled to return to one of our biggest and most beloved hits of the '90s! An exhilarating blend of romance, thrills and action, Tom Tykwer’s classic work of brilliance utilizes multiple viewpoints and a domino effect to create different destinies, underscored with such devices as split screen, fast and slow motion, rapid montage, jump cuts, whip pans, still photographs and animation – whew! – in its headlong rush through the story of twenty minutes in the life of an exceptional screen heroine – the red-headed Lola of the title. The story is quite straightforward: Manni (Moritz Bleibtrau) and Lola (Franka Potente) are twenty-something Berliners, way past cool and desperately in love. When Manni, a local criminal’s errand boy, loses 100,000 Deutchmarks of his criminal boss’ money, he has twenty minutes to come up with the dough or face retaliation. Manni turns to the quick-witted, resourceful Lola to devise a plan to save him. And so she does, running for Manni’s life, for her love, and to find money somewhere, somehow. Dangling three “what if” variations on Lola’s mission to save her mate, RUN LOLA RUN propels us toward each outcome with a delicious peppering of surprises, quirks and twists.

A small and rapturous wonder, EVIL DOES NOT EXIST is quietly spellbinding in its gentle exploration of the dissidence between the natural world and the onslaught of commercial enterprise.

"It’s about how the indigo darkness of a forest at night becomes a blanket, and about how the arrival of strangers can change a place (or change the strangers), and about the idea of something precious being forever lost." - Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

"Its power lies in what particulars are provided, and how it leaves us wondering about the unstoppable dreams of humans and the ageless realities of nature." - Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

With parts originally conceived as a visual accompaniment to Eiko Ishibashi’s stunning original score, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s (DRIVE MY CAR) beautiful meditation on a mountain village’s duty to the natural world proves to be an imminently compelling and timely story. Opening sequences enmesh us in daily rural life: friends collect fresh water for the evening’s soup from an icy alpine brook, a wandering young girl marvels at bare trees swaying against an icy blue sky, her forgetful father chops wood with well-honed precision outside a cozy cabin. When corporate scouts from nearby Tokyo intrudes on the idyllic community to pitch a pandemic-funded project set to develop their pristine woods into a glamping resort, the locals take notice. The municipal proceedings, an exercise in firm but politely worded discourse, are fueled by the depth of care expressed by long-term residents weary of the environmental effects of intruding tourists. When the story shifts to the out-of-their-depth executives charged with implementing the ill-conceived project, they begin to weigh the implications and gravity of what they’ve been hired to do. A stirring film of quiet observation, its enrapturing spell weaves disparate threads together in an increasingly dreamlike third act and its confrontation of capitalism will spark conversations long after the credits roll.

Warm, wise and wonderful, EZRA is a captivating, funny and heartfelt journey!

"A thoughtful, emotional film about the evolving relationships between fathers and sons and about coping with different-ness, with a moving performance by Bobby Cannavale and Robert DeNiro." - J. Don Birman, Below The Line

"Earns its crowd-hugging stripes legitimately thanks to its superb ensemble and sensitive direction that never gets in the way of its knowing script." - Michael Rechtschtaffen, Hollywood Reporter

Both an unpredictable family dramedy and a road movie that runs on mischief, the latest from director Tony Goldwyn stars Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne and Oscar winner Robert De Niro as three adults with wildly divergent opinions about what’s best for one precocious young boy. New Jersey stand-up Max (Cannavale) tells stories about ordinary chaos, and there is no better source of chaos in his life than his son, Ezra (William A. Fitzgerald). Diagnosed with autism, Ezra's impulsive behavior often gets him into trouble. When a doctor insists Ezra be medicated and sent to a special school, Max knows this isn't the right solution for his boy and spontaneously decides to take Ezra on a cross-country excursion. Buoyant and big-hearted, EZRA is is an endearing and often funny exploration of a family determined to find their way through life’s complexities with humor, compassion and heart...a heart so big it's sure to touch yours!

A picturesque, slow-burning Western, THE DEAD DON’T HURT is a deeply involving story of love, sacrifice and devotion.

"A picture rendered with grace, patience, and artistry." - Jason Bailey, The Playlist

"This sinewy, sombre, handsomely crafted and beautifully shot western is Viggo Mortensen’s second feature as a director, an impressively authored movie in which Mortensen is also writer, composer and star." - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

Set in the 1860s, Viggo Mortensen’s second outing as writer-director (after Falling, TIFF ’20) is an elegantly realized feminist western starring Mortensen himself and Vicky Krieps as immigrants attempting to forge a life in a corrupt Nevada town. French-Canadian flower seller Vivienne Le Coudy (Krieps) and Danish carpenter Holger Olsen (Mortensen) begin a life together near the quiet town of Elk Flats — Vivienne grows roses and waits tables at a tavern and Holger builds barns, until the couple are separated by Holger’s decision to fight for the Union in the burgeoning Civil War. Left on her own, Vivienne must fend for herself in a place controlled by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller (Danny Huston) and his business partner, powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries (Garret Dillahunt). Alfred's wayward son Weston (Solly McLeod) aggressively pursues Vivienne, who is determined to resist his unwanted advances. Sliding between points in time, the brilliance of THE DEAD DON'T HURT's narrative structure is that it frontloads the lawlessness and mayhem we expect from a western, then gradually introduces the tenderness and moral integrity that give this film its true purpose. Infused with multiple exquisite performances, this is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless men.

Audacious, introspective and hypnotic, I SAW THE TV GLOW is a fascinating exploration of self-discovery and overcoming our fears.

"Director Jane Schoenbrun blurs the lines between reality and fantasy with an intoxicating, Lynchian flair." - Jen Yamato, Washington Post

"Captures the awkward, outcast feeling of finding more meaning and context within a TV show than one’s life struggling to break free from an assigned gender and identity that isn’t who one is inside." - Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

After taking the indie horror circuit by storm with WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR, Jane Schoenbrun returns with an eerie slice of cinema about two lonely suburbanites who find solace and obsession in a late-night TV show. A mesmerizing film equally indebted to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and David Lynch, Schoenbrun’s sophomore feature is a boldly conceived story of self-discovery, defined by the ecstatic highs and devastating pitfalls of pop-cultural obsession. Teenagers Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Brigette Lundy-Paine) form a bond through shared solace in a horror television show called The Pink Opaque where they give themselves away to fictional characters who fight the big and bad Mr. Melancholy. It delivers insanely imaginative criticism on today's media consumption, but there’s more going on in this never-quite-coming-of-age tale: questions about gender, memory and time lurk behind the film’s alluring shimmer. I SAW THE TV GLOW dares viewers to live their truth, because if they don’t, their personhood may disappear entirely.
