“‘I’ll See You in My Dreams’ is a remarkably pleasant experience at the movies.” -Billy Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

“The tender magnetism of Blythe Danner turns an intelligent, sensitive story of love among the not so young into a work of art.” -Rex Reed, New York Observer

But when Patricia learns that her boyfriend is being investigated for murder, she begins to question her loyalties.

“Modern movies begin here, with Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless in 1960. No debut film since Citizen Kane in 1942 has been as influential.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

In 1919, Australian farmer Joshua Connor (Russell Crowe) goes in search of his three missing sons, last known to have fought against the Turks in the bloody Battle of Gallipoli. Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone; her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdoan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor’s boys and who may be this father’s only hope. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth and his own peace.

“Crowe is not messing around here, not trying to dream up opportunities to throw himself another close-up. He’s a genuine director.” – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“The feature directorial debut of Russell Crowe, who also stars, it tells a compelling tale of loss and reconciliation, and does so with evenhanded sympathy for the adversaries on both sides of the conflict.” – Soren Anderson, Seattle Times

“After toiling for the likes of Ridley Scott, Ron Howard, and Peter Weir all these years, Crowe takes command of his own camera crews and castmates, mounting an ambitious and sentimental period drama.” – Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

“It’s always entertaining to see a genre tweaked, at least when it’s done so with the proper mix of respect and madness at work in ‘Slow West.'” – Billy Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

“A western fable with an often dreamlike vibe, ‘Slow West’ proves to be a surprisingly sly tale of passion, greed and survival.” – Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

*Tonight is the final night to see 5 Flights Up.*

Forty years ago, artist Alex Carver (Morgan Freeman) bought a run-down apartment in a sketchy part of Brooklyn with his wife, schoolteacher Ruth (Diane Keaton). Today, their neighborhood is now very hip and their apartment worth a small fortune. The now-retired Ruth and Alex haven’t changed – they are still as much in love as ever. But they have let Ruth’s niece Lily (Cynthia Nixon), a real estate agent, list their property to see what the market might bear. On the eve of their open house, the Brooklyn Bridge is rumored to be under a terrorist attack, sending the media into a frenzy and people’s attitudes about living in New York. Closer to home, Dorothy, the Carver’s beloved dog, is suddenly having trouble walking. While Dorothy is having expensive treatment at the vet, Ruth convinces Alex to go apartment hunting in Manhattan, where they miraculously come across an ideal place they might actually be able to afford. As the world around them seems to mirror their own chaos and confusion, Ruth and Alex realize the same bond of love that has kept them together all these years will allow them to see their way through this crazy weekend as well.

“What a pleasure to see a simple, finely tuned dramedy about real adults with real emotions in a real-life situation.” – Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

“Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton have unexpectedly great chemistry in this warm and funny comedy about a couple who contemplate leaving a walk-up apartment in Brooklyn they’ve occupied for their entire 40-year marriage.” – Lou Lumenick, New York Post

“The lead performances are so perfectly in sync that Alex and Ruth really feel like an old married couple who know each other’s foibles and cherish every tic.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times

Aging 1970s rocker Danny Collins (Al Pacino) can’t give up his hard-living ways. But when his manager (Christopher Plummer) uncovers a 40 year-old undelivered letter written to him by John Lennon, he decides to change course and embarks on a heartfelt journey to rediscover his family, find true love and begin a second act.

“Al Pacino sells the heck out of his performance as Danny Collins.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“It’s never dull to watch pros like Pacino, Bening, Plummer, Garner and Cannavale interact – this is dream casting – and the film makes the most of that, along with a pleasingly comprehensive Lennon soundtrack.” – Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

“’Danny Collins’ is the cinematic equivalent of a well-sung easy rock tune, enjoyably light and bouncy, with some darker notes hidden within the chords.” – Tom Long, Detroit News

What happens when a young woman with Borderline Personality Disorder wins the lottery? In the case of Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig), she quits her psychiatric meds and buys her own talk show. Inspired by the immortal Oprah, she broadcasts her dirty laundry as both a form of exhibitionism and a platform to share her peculiar views on everything from nutrition to relationships to neutering pets.

“It’s a tricky business playing someone who is mentally ill and perhaps should be confined for observation, especially in a dark comedy. Wiig manages to make Alice funny as hell, endearing, sad and sometimes a little frightening.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

“This is Wiig’s show, and connoisseurs of the comedy craft will flip for her.” – Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“By turns touching, amusing and genuinely disturbing, it defies expectations and easy categorization, forgoing obvious laughs and cheap emotional payoffs in favor of something much odder and more interesting.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times

Iris pairs legendary 87-year-old documentarian Albert Maysles with Iris Apfel, the quick-witted, flamboyantly dressed 93-year-old style maven who has had an outsized presence on the New York fashion scene for decades. More than a fashion film, the documentary is a story about creativity and how a soaring free spirit continues to inspire. IRIS portrays a singular woman whose enthusiasm for fashion, art and people are life’s sustenance and reminds us that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing but an experiment. Despite the abundance of glamour in her current life, she continues to embrace the values and work ethic established during a middle-class Queens upbringing during the Great Depression.

“Intimate, knowing portrait of a fashion icon who knows exactly who and what she is, and is often surrounded by people who don’t.” – John Anderson, Newsday

“There are few better ways right now to spend 80 movie minutes than to see Iris, a delightful eye-opener about life, love, statement eyeglasses, bracelets the size of tricycle tires and the art of making the grandest of entrances.” – Manohla Dargis, New York Times

“The chief virtue of ‘Iris’ is its amiability – it’s a delight to spend time in Apfel’s company, and thanks to Albert Maysles, we can.” – Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle
