A discovery at the Toronto International Film Festival: a noirish crime drama set in 19th-century rural Denmark.

An implausible, real-life museum heist becomes perfect movie material for director Alonso Ruizpalacios.
A handsomely made, well-acted entry in the legal procedural genre, which, despite its references to Japanese criminal law, should be accessible to most viewers.
Based on a real-life incident, young upper-middle-class men turn to crime as a cure for boredom, and now they are the subject of a film that is anything but boring.
Everything about Gemini is cool, from its steely blue, neon color palette to the jazzy-noir-synth-pop soundtrack.
Casablanca stands in for Cairo—and makes a compelling star. The story takes place in the days leading up to the Arab Spring in January 2011, and the city throbs with discontent.
A worthy heir to the gritty 1970s New York films of Martin Scorsese. What Mean Streets and Taxi Driver did for 1970s Manhattan, Good Time does for Queens of the 2010s.
A tightly wound gem of a movie that wastes none of its brisk 80 minutes.
A fleabag of a crime movie and pure, unadulterated, hard-R-don’t-give-a-damn Paul Schrader.
