Dallas Buyer’s Club | The story of Texas cowboy,
Ron Woodroof and his battle with the medical establishment
and pharmaceutical companies after being diagnosed as HIVpositive in 1985. Starring Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer
Garner. | These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic,
and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron
Woodroof was given 30 days to live, now shunned and
ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of
government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own
hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both
legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined
forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts—who he once would have
shunned—and established a hugely successful “buyers’ club.” Their shared struggle
for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative
power of resilience. Rating: R
12 Years A Slave | In the antebellum United States,
Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is
abducted and sold into slavery. “Quite Simply, A Film For The
Ages” – Alynda Wheat, People Magazine | 12 Years a Slave is
based on an incredible true story of one man’s fight for
survival and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States,
Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dirty Pretty Things), a
free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold
into slavery. Facing cruelty (personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by
Michael Fassbender), as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only
to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable
odyssey, Solomon’s chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) will
forever alter his life. Also starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano and Paul
Giamatti. Directed by Steve McQueen. Rating: R
Wadjda | An enterprising Saudi girl signs on for her
school’s Koran recitation competition to raise funds she needs
to buy the green bicycle that has captured her interest. |
Wadjda (Waad Mohammed) is a 10-year-old girl living in a
suburb of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Although she
lives in a conservative world, Wadjda is fun-loving,
entrepreneurial and always pushing the boundaries of what
she can get away with. Wadjda sees a beautiful green bicycle for sale and she wants
it desperately, but Wadjda’s mother (Reem Abdullah) won’t allow it, fearing
repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl’s virtue. So
Wadjda decides to try and raise the money herself. She hears of a cash prize for a
Koran recitation competition at her school. She devotes herself to the memorization
and recitation of Koranic verses, and her teachers begin to see Wadjda as a model
pious girl Wadjda she refuses to give in and is determined to continue fighting for her
dreams. Written and directed by Haifaa Al Mansour, the first female filmmaker in
Saudi Arabia. Rating: PG
Philomena
| Dame Judi Dench stars in the story of a
woman’s search for her son, who was taken away from her
decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live
in a convent. | Based on the 2009 investigative book by BBC
correspondent Martin Sixsmith, The Lost Child of Philomena
Lee, Philomena focuses on the efforts of Philomena Lee (Judi
Dench), mother to a boy conceived out of wedlock—
something her Irish-Catholic community didn’t have the
highest opinion of—and given away for adoption in the United States. In following
church doctrine, she was forced to sign a contract that wouldn’t allow for any sort of
inquiry into the son’s whereabouts. After starting a family years later in England
and, for the most part, moving on with her life, Lee meets Sixsmith (co-writer Steve
Coogan), a BBC reporter with whom she decides to discover her long-lost son.
Directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, Dirty Pretty Things, High Fidelity). Rating: R
All Is Lost
| After a collision with a shipping
container at sea, a resourceful sailor (Robert Redford) finds
himself, despite all efforts to the contrary, staring his
mortality in the face. “A Masterpiece” – David Edelstein,
New York | Robert Redford stars in All Is Lost, an openwater thriller about one man’s battle for survival against
the elements after his sailboat is destroyed at sea. Deep
into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man
(Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a
shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment
and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm.
Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner’s intuition, and a
strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest. Using only a
sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean
currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel and
soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face. Rating: PG-13
Kill Your Darlings
| A murder in 1944 draws
together the great poets of the beat generation: Allen
Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe), Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) and
William Burroughs (Ben Foster). “A Dark Beauty of a Film
that gets inside your head and stays there” – Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone | A true story of friendship, love and murder,
Kill Your Darlings recounts the pivotal year that changed Allen
Ginsberg’s (Daniel Radcliffe) life forever, bringing him
together with William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston) at
Columbia University in 1944, providing the spark that would lead to their Beat
Revolution. At Columbia, Allen finds stuffy tradition clashing with daringly modern
ideas and attitudes—embodied by Lucien Carr (Dane DeHaan) and David Kammerer,
Lucien’s new sidekick. Lucien is an object of fascination for shy, unsophisticated Allen,
and soon he is drawn into Lucien’s hard-drinking, reefer-smoking, jazz-clubbing circle
of friends. But when David is found murdered, Ginsberg is faced with a stark choice:
to betray himself and lie to the district attorney, or to write the truth—and condemn a
friend. Rating: R
The Armstrong Lie | An exposition of cyclist
Lance Armstrong as he trains for his eighth Tour de France
victory. | In 2008, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex
Gibney set out to make a documentary about Lance
Armstrong’s comeback to the world of competitive cycling.
Armstrong had brought global attention to cycling as the
man who had triumphed over cancer and went on to win
the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times.
Charting Armstrong’s life story (and given unprecedented access to both the Tour
and the man), Gibney began filming what he initially envisioned as the ultimate
comeback story—Armstrong’s return from retirement and his attempt to win his
eighth Tour. An unprecedented scandal, however, would rewrite both the
Armstrong legend and Gibney’s film and The Armstrong Lie instead emerges as a
riveting insider’s view of the collapse of one of the greatest legends of our time.
Rating: R
Nebraska
| Oscar nominee Bruce Dern stars as an
aging, booze-addled father who makes the trip from
Montana to Nebraska with his estranged son (SNL’s Will
Forte) in order to claim a million dollar Sweepstakes prize.
Alexander Payne (The Descendants, Sideways, Election)
directs Nebraska, a bittersweet film about a father-andson road trip through an emotionally and economically
parched homeland. After receiving a sweepstakes letter in
the mail, a cantankerous father (Bruce Dern) thinks he’s struck it rich, and
wrangles his son (Will Forte) into taking a road trip to claim the fortune. Shot in
black and white across four states, Nebraska tells the stories of family life in the
heartland of America. Rating: R
