FILMS SHOWING Friday Aug 19 to Thursday Aug 25
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.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

"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.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons star in this inspirational biopic about Srinivasa Ramanujan, the early-20th century Indian mathematician whose groundbreaking theories revolutionized the field.

No screenings currently scheduled.

14A

"The most entertaining work of Moretti's storied career, 'My Mother' (Mia Madre) moves effortlessly from a busy film set to serious family scenes, but his directorial skill makes the mood changes feel natural and unforced." - NOW

“Mia Madre, Nanni Moretti’s film about a director shooting a film while her mother is dying in the hospital, shows the Italian filmmaker in a serious, subdued mood, but is enlivened by the absurd comic clash between protag Margherita Buy and her lead actor John Turturro.

No screenings currently scheduled.

14A

"Compulsively watchable, Hevn (Revenge) offers a Norwegian take on a woman seeking retribution." - Georgia Straight

“Hevn is for real. Unfortunately for the characters in this first feature from director and co-writer Kjersti Steinsbø, ‘Hevn’ is not a pastoral afterlife but the Norwegian word for revenge. And like a glacier-fed fjord, it’s best served cold.

No screenings currently scheduled.

PG

"The remarkable thing about Wadleigh's film is that it succeeds so completely in making us feel how it must have been to be there." - Roger Ebert

Fifty years ago, on Aug. 15, 1969, over a million young people descended on Max Yasgur’s farm in Woodstock, New York for 3 days of peace, love and music. What was meant to be a simple concert became the defining event of a generation—and an everlasting symbol of the power of the collective human spirit.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"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?

No screenings currently scheduled.

14A

"Hope and horror are commingled to quietly moving effect in [The Innocents], a restrained but cumulatively powerful French-Polish drama about the various crises of faith that emerge when a house of God is ravaged by war." - Variety

“Battlefield savagery, spiritual crises and sins of the world collide in this moving World War II docudrama. Just after the war’s end in Poland, Mathilde (rising starlet Lou de Laâge of 'The Wait'), a young French Red Cross doctor aiding wounded soldiers, is sought for help by the local nuns’ convent.

No screenings currently scheduled.
