It’s the summer of 1991, and Janet (Julianne Nicholson), an aging down-to-earth acupuncturist, has retreated to rural Massachusetts to spend some quality time with her young daughter Lacy (Zoe Zeigler). The girl is at the age where being sociable is a real challenge, and Janet tries to gently sever the proverbial “apron strings” by inviting three people over to her home for a visit: her boyfriend, a close female companion, and the leader of a local theater troupe. Lacy, however, is not exactly ready to let go of her dependence on her mother and warily struggles to embrace the demands of young adulthood.

From A24 Studios, Janet Planet has been an immediate hit with critics who have praised the realism and heartfelt quality of the relationship between a mother and her daughter at emotionally impactful stages of life. Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker, the film stars a strong cast that includes Julianne Nicholson, Zoe Ziegler, Elias Koteas, Sophie Okonedo, and Will Patton.

Hugh Grant gets dark in a new thriller from A24 Studios!

We’ve all been visited by Mormons going door-to-door, trying to spread the word about their religion. However, when two young female missionaries are greeted at the door by a plain-looking, bespectacled man and invited inside under the (false) pretense of some delicious blueberry pie, they soon discover that he’s actually a scholar dangerously well-versed in the doctrines of faith who has laid a devilish trap for them.

Written and directed by filmmaking duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place, Haunt, 65), Heretic will have you squirming in your seat as the story compels you to acknowledge that fear might be the undeniable truth at the heart of religious faith.
