Simply put, this is a moving film with a riveting lead performance by Riz Ahmed.
Film-Forward
Let Him Go
Director/writer Thomas Bezucha expertly and deftly teases out the tension, priming the audience for the inevitable bloody climax.
Koko-di Koko-da
An odd horror film that puts David Lynch, Rob Zombie, and Groundhog Day through a blender to produce a grim parable.
David Byrne’s American Utopia
This highly choreographed concert features Byrne as an elder statesman of rock, with a relaxed and genial presence.

The courtroom drama is definitely enjoyable, a smooth ride filled with standout performances and snappy dialogue, but it is also somewhat one-dimensional and flat.
The Antenna
Its finale can only be described as Terry Gilliam meets David Cronenberg.
Eternal Beauty
Sally Hawkins, in a remarkable performance, offers a full portrait of an individual with schizophrenia.
The Artist’s Wife
Lena Olin is always a treasure, and she shines here.
H Is for Happiness
A preternatural emotionally mature 12-year-old learns a lesson well, heals years of pain, and brings everyone together.
