ROOM: Last Day Thursday, December 31st

Watch Trailer Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Writer(s): Emma Donoghue
Cast: Brie Larson, Joan Allen, William H. Macy
Awards: 2016 Golden Globes: Nominated for Best Film, Best Actress, & Best Screenplay

This drama tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5 year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. However, they are trapped in a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space, which Ma has euphemistically named “Room.” As Jack’s curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma’s resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.

“See it you must for the Oscar-caliber Larson and young Tremblay, whose remarkable mother-and-child bond is nothing sort of astonishing to watch.” -Lou Lumenick, New York Post

“A24 might just have the call-your-mom-sobbing-afterward movie of 2015 on its hands.” -Justin Chang, Variety

“To its immense credit, both the storyline and tone set by Room is the farthest thing away from being a mere exploitation film… Yet this is clearly a film that aims for more, and it’s all the more remarkable that it manages to achieve its lofty goals.” -Jason Gorber, Twitch Film

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.

“Bryan Cranston brings the complex personality of Trumbo to life with substance and humor.” – Rex Reed, New York Observer

“You don’t have to know a thing about Trumbo, Hollywood or communism to enjoy watching Trumbo.” – Sandy Cohen, Associated Press

EXPERIMENTER: Last Day Thursday, November 19th

Watch Trailer Director: Michael Almereyda
Writer(s): Michael Almereyda
Cast: Winona Ryder, Taryn Manning, Peter Sarsgaard

In 1961, social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted the “obedience experiments” at Yale University. The experiments observed the responses of ordinary people asked to send harmful electrical shocks to a stranger. Despite pleadings from the person they were shocking, 65 percent of subjects obeyed commands from a lab-coated authority figure to deliver potentially fatal currents. With Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram’s Kafkaesque results hit a nerve, and he was accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster. EXPERIMENTER invites us inside Milgram’s whirring mind, beginning with his obedience research and wending a path to uncover how inner obsessions and the times in which he lived shaped a parade of human behavior inquiries.

Experimenter‘s most striking quality is the way it encourages us to think deeply, from the first frame to the last…” -Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

“Fascinating work by Michael Almereyda, a mix of audacious artifice, ruminations and reality.” -John Anderson, Newsday

“Seemingly loose and free-associative in style, Experimenter builds to an effect and, for all its humor — or rather, through its humor — makes a sober and chilling point.” -Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

TRUTH: Last Day Wednesday, November 25th

Watch Trailer Director: James Vanderbilt
Writer(s): James Vanderbilt, Mary Mapes
Cast: Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford, and Topher Grace

*The heating in the theater showing Truth was previously out of order. It has now been repaired. Thank you for your patience!*

In 2004, Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett), an award-winning CBS News journalist and Dan Rather’s producer, uncovered that a sitting US president may have been AWOL from the United States National Guard for over a year during the Vietnam War. When the story blew up in their face, the ensuing scandal ruined Dan Rather’s career, nearly changed a US Presidential election, and almost took down all of CBS News in the process.

“A new entry among the pantheon of great journalism movies. Blanchett is electrifying.” – Rafer Guzman, Newsday

“As Mapes, Blanchett burns on a high flame, and Redford finds the wounded dignity in Rather.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity.” -Stephen Holden, New York Times

*Visual impairment and closed caption devices are available for this film.

“It’s one of those movies that you don’t exactly enjoy (so many guns, so many deaths), but you appreciate for its craft and tension, and for its cast’s willingness to lose themselves in the darkness.” -Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

“It’s a very good film about a very bad man.” -Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
