This year’s offerings sway toward star-driven vehicles.
Film-Forward
The Founder
The biopic of businessman Roy Kroc, a movie that, like fast food, faithfully follows a recipe.
Nocturnal Animals
This adaptation of Austin Wright’s 1993 novel Tony and Susan presents a mishmash of styles, from hothouse drama to cool, elegant, and elliptical art house.

The Eagle Huntress
The majestic landscape, captured by first-time feature documentary filmmaker Otto Bell, lends this intimate documentary an epic grandeur.
