Film-Forward

Indie

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.

Tyrel

The film asks, what it is like to be black while partying with a bunch of rambunctious, slightly nerdy, but definitely drunk white dudes?

A Bread Factory

This daring and thought-provoking comedy-drama centers on something decidedly unsexy yet vital: the act of community-building.

Support the Girls

Regina Hall stars as a manager at Double Whammies, a Hooters-style exurban watering hole where a mostly male clientele laps up beer, breasts, and big-screen TV.
