"If you want reality -- if you want an idea, for one, as to how the British people could become so despairing that they would do something as drastic as vote to leave the European Union -- see I, Daniel Blake." - The Atlantic

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival & BAFTA 2017 Winner for Best British Film, the latest from legendary director Ken Loach is a gripping, human tale about the impact one man can make. Gruff but goodhearted, Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is a man out of time: a widowed woodworker who's never owned a computer, he lives according to his own common sense moral code.

"Caine deftly balances world-weariness and stoic resolve. Freeman virtually radiates hard-won wisdom. And Arkin, as usual, is the ultimate curmudgeon. Together, they create a dynamic not unlike that of a jazz combo in which each player is fully engaged." - St. Louis Dispatch

Three retired men and lifelong pals (Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Alan Arkin) lose their pensions when the company they've worked for their entire lives is sold to a foreign corporation.

"If you long for a film in the tradition of such grown-up entertainments as "Lawrence of Arabia" and "The English Patient," this is one to get lost in." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“The compelling and quixotic true story of a British army officer who, a century ago, ventured into uncharted realms of the South American jungle in search of a presumed ancient civilization, The Lost City of Z is a rare piece of contemporary classical cinema.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"A disillusioned father tries to pull his family back together in another simple but powerful drama from the Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda." - Film Journal International

“A small-scale, satisfying human drama that backs gradually into larger matters, “After the Storm” is the latest deceptive miniature from Japan’s Hirokazu Kore-eda.

"Their Finest is one of the smartest, funniest and most surprising movies I've seen in years." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

"'Their Finest' is an offbeat romantic comedy about making a film and making love in a Blitz-pounded World War II-era London.

"The film, based on a novel by Lissa Evans, is ably carried by Gemma Arterton ('Gemma Bovery'), with a marvelous supporting cast, and reminds us what an appealing romantic heroine Arterton is.

"Cynthia Nixon plays Emily Dickinson, whose poetry and life is a perfect match for the signature style of director Terence Davies: rich in detail, deeply enigmatic, and weighted with a kind of sparkling, joy-tinged sorrow." - Vox

"A Quiet Passion, from British writer/director Terence Davies (The Long Day Closes, House of Mirth, Sunset Song), follows the life of Massachusetts poet Emily Dickinson with a more traditional biopic trajectory, but it’s not without surprises. It's one of the most unique and mesmerizing films of the year.

"Nacho Vigalondo's giant-creature-run-amuck fantasy is a brilliantly bizarro satire of gender politics, featuring Anne Hathaway in a funny, fierce, fully committed performance that demands to be seen." - Rolling Stone

Visionary filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo (TIMECRIMES, EXTRATERRESTRIAL) returns with an intimate cinematic spectacle that gives us what we never knew we needed: Anne Hathaway as a giant, city-stomping monster.

"What makes Get Out more than just a slam-bang scarefest is that, in its own darkly satiric way, it is also a movie about racial paranoia that captures the zeitgeist in ways that many more 'prestigious' movies don't." - Christian Science Monitor

Jordan Peele is one of the stars of the beloved sketch comedy show KEY & PEELE, but one of his true passions is horror movies. Now, after years making us laugh on his TV show, Peele has a chance to make us scream with his directorial debut, GET OUT.

No screenings currently scheduled.

"Wheatley (A Field in England; High-Rise) continues an unbroken run of quality, helped by a great cast and a startlingly effective premise. This is seriously cool, stuffed with great dialogue and riddled with bullets." - Empire

“A comedy and a labor of love, Free Fire is a takeoff on 1970s action films concentrating on pure visceral thrills, directed by Britain’s Ben Wheatley.

"To make a movie so bad it's good you need vision, drive, luck and obsessive vanity. Fortuitously Tommy Wiseau appears to possess all of these qualities, combined with a total lack of acting talent." - The Guardian

Celebrate 20 years of The Room! 

“Tommy Wiseau’s The Room may be the first true successor to the Rocky Horror throne.  Wiseau's Johnny is the noblest of boyfriends and most capable of lovers. But none of that satisfies his fiancée Lisa, a wicked Jezebel whose boredom with Johnny manifests in a brazen affair with his best friend.
