A sweet, amicable, and droll comedy that honors nosy, overprotective, and concerned mothers everywhere.
This is Pedro Almodóvar at his most straightforward, a modest film without flash, save for the color-coordinated art direction.
An illuminating and incisive account of Israel’s control of the West Bank.
A whimsical musical and an almost psychedelic trip to the suburbs of Florida; a science-fiction farce loaded with foul language, explicit violence, and sexual references; and an amalgam of noir and black comedy.
The festival featured beguiling documentaries about a wide range of entertainers and the vibrant Provincetown–set High Tide.

The hit of the series is There’s Still Tomorrow, a sensation and conversation piece in Italy.
