FILMS SHOWING Friday Aug 12 to Thursday Aug 18

Captain Fantastic

14A

"It's a rare movie that asks such big questions - about parenting, about family, about modern-day America - and comes up with answers that are moving and meaningful, that make you laugh and cry." - Philadelphia Inquirer

"Viggo Mortensen is at the top of his game in this soulful family dramedy, shot through with humor and heart. Written and directed with scrappy grace by Matt Ross, Captain Fantastic takes turns you don't see coming.

Café Society

"Romantic, bittersweet and funny as hell, Café Society turns Hollywood inside out, rooting through the superficial tinsel to find the real tinsel. You go away gobsmacked, beaming and happy to be both." - Rex Reed, New York Observer

"Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) is a New Yorker to the core, but he’s also ambitious in a way that the city can’t accommodate. Fortunately, Bobby has a connection that might be useful: his uncle Phil (Steve Carell), a high-powered 1930s Hollywood agent.

Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World

14A

"These discrete 'reveries of the connected world' represent the latest of Herzog's heady explorations of what it means to be human (and even post-human), rendered in his characteristically personal, decidedly analog style." - Variety

“Werner Herzog flicks a stone across the surface of the bottomless ocean that is the history and future of the Internet in 'Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World,' a quizzical, spry, illuminating consideration of where human beings currently stand vis-a-vis the invention that is changing the world in as-yet unimaginable ways.

Closet Monster

14A

Set in Newfoundland, it's "a bold and startling work, one that twists the old coming-of-age template with a queer, compelling bent." (Globe & Mail) Winner - Best Canadian Feature TIFF 2015

“Have you ever watched that show 'Face Off' where makeup artists compete against each other? It’s probably DVR’ed at the home of Oscar Madly, the title character in Closet Monster, a terrific feature debut from Canadian short filmmaker Stephen Dunn. Oscar is a semi-closeted teenager who wants to become a great makeup artist for horror and fantasy movies.

Love & Friendship

"Whit Stillman and Jane Austen are a match made in comedy rapture." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"I can’t choose whether “Love & Friendship” is the best Jane Austen film I have ever seen, or the best I could ever hope to see. Which is better, the cast’s elegant character work or the charm and wit of writer/director Whit Stillman’s overall control? Is it more dangerous to laugh yourself silly or applaud to the point of bruised palms?
