Directors Peter Ettedgui and Ian Bonhôte deliver one of the year’s best and most heartbreaking documentaries.
A fantastic acting showcase for Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen.
A methodical and engrossing courtroom drama based on the real-life 1976 trial of the mercurial far-left militant Pierre Goldman.
Marcel Ophuls’s intelligent and riveting 1976 film, newly restored, might be the most expansive canvas he ever worked on.
The debut film by Giovanni Tortorici, a spry filmmaker, has moxie.
Director Milad Tangshir’s feature debut expands upon a certain Italian neorealism classic, Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves.
The movie certainly gets one thing right: Many on the original Saturday Night Live were stoned and/or coked-out of their minds.
A sweet, amicable, and droll comedy that honors nosy, overprotective, and concerned mothers everywhere.
