Film-Forward

American

Diane

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

Relaxer

Distinctly odd and way out of the mainstream. If you are on its wavelength, it’s cinematic gold. If not, you simply don’t know what the hell you’re watching.

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.

Monsters and Men

A complex portrait of New York City law enforcement and the citizenry.

All About Nina

A timely film centering on a young female comedian with a host of personal issues.

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.

Puzzle

Jigsaw puzzles as a vehicle for women’s lib.
