The Tale of King Crab
A film that hearkens back to folkloric storytelling.
Film-Forward
Nitram
Director Justin Kurzel envisions the days leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre from the killer’s point of view. The emphasis here is on understanding the context that led to the tragedy, without excusing either the killer or the crime.
The Outfit
The well-paced thriller hums along at such a quick clip that it’s easy to hold reservations until after the credits have rolled.
Great Freedom
Watching the ways the prison-bound relationships vary in their complications, compromises, and resolutions is one of the more moving aspects of director Sebastian Meise’s film.
Fabian: Going to the Dogs
Welcome to Weimar–era Berlin, a world of economic instability, wild partying, cabaret performers, rampant sexuality, and where Nazis are beginning to march the streets.
Strawberry Mansion
A callback to the early to mid-2000s, when Wes Anderson’s popularity was in full swing and films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, and Garden State were the rage.
Catch the Fair One
A boxer searches for her younger sister, who may have been abducted by a sex-trafficking ring.
