Film-Forward

Indie

The Peanut Butter Falcon

If you’re looking for a poignant but somewhat straightforward (and, at times, generic) story line, this movie will give you all the catharsis you’ll need.

Luce

A packed, well-oiled vicious circle that speaks volumes and takes no prisoners.

Skin

From the get-go, director Guy Nattiv’s visceral depiction of neo-Nazi Bryon Widner’s escape from his white supremacist surrogate family demands a reaction from the audience.

The Mountain

A deeply disturbing film with a cast firing on all cylinders.

The Art of Self-Defense

A movie built around a critique of toxic masculinity so obvious it could have been written by an algorithm.

The Last Black Man in San Francisco

The film takes enormous risks, not the least of which is its open and unabashed appeal to the heart.

The Tomorrow Man

John Lithgow plays a man who fears a nuclear doomsday and so maintains a state of the art food bunker.

Diane

In less than 10 minutes, a few vignettes are enough to depict an insightful character study.

En el Séptimo Día

This may be the first film since the advent of Grubhub and Seamless to portray the workers on the other end of the app. It does that and much more.
