A spellbinding mystery of identity, illusion, and deception unfolds against the turmoil of post-World War II Germany in the stunning new film from acclaimed director Christian Petzold (Barbara, Jerichow). Nelly (Nina Hoss), a German-Jewish nightclub singer, has survived a concentration camp, but with her face disfigured by a bullet wound. After undergoing reconstructive surgery, Nelly emerges with a new face, one similar but different enough that her former husband, Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld), doesn’t recognize her. Rather than reveal herself, Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post-war Berlin, Phoenix weaves a complex tale of a nation’s tragedy and a woman’s search for answers as it builds towards an unforgettable, heart-stopping climax.

“Provocative, profoundly moving and the acting is virtuosic.” -John Anderson, Newsday

“‘Phoenix’ is an intoxicating witches’ brew, equal parts melodrama and moral parable, that audaciously mixes diverse elements to compelling, disturbing effect.” -Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Beautiful and mysteriously powerful from beginning to end.” -Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment.

“The first thing to know about The Diary of a Teenage Girl is that young British actress (Bel) Powley is staggeringly good in it.” -Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

“A strikingly intimate look at a teenager’s sexual life in an outstanding debut film.” -Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

“Big summer action movies can be thrilling, but if you really want to feel your heart pounding out of your chest, try being a 15-year-old girl for 101 minutes.” -Rebecca Keegan, Los Angeles Times

What happens when a college psych study goes shockingly wrong? In 1971 Stanford University professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo (Billy Crudup) cast 24 student volunteers as prisoners and guards in a simulated jail to examine the source of abusive behavior in the prison system. The results astonished the world, as participants went from middle-class undergrads to drunk-with-power sadists and submissive victims in just a few days.

“Alvarez captures an emotional immediacy and risk that is deliberately excluded from academic debate.” -Andrew O’Hehir, Salon

“Tim Talbott’s dense script provides much to discuss and argue about, providing both left and right with talking points.” -Kyle Smith, New York Post

“Billy Crudup gives a fine performance as Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who engineered the whole thing and was then pulled into his own power trip.” -J.R. Jones, Chicago Reader

“This is sublime filmmaking, a textbook example of how indies can tell groundbreaking stories in a way that Hollywood simply can’t match.” -David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

“Shot on an iPhone 5 for practically no money, Tangerine jumps off the screen and wows you like nobody’s business.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“It’s the warmth and absence of judgment or condescension toward its marginalized characters that make Sean Baker’s film such a vibrant and uplifting snapshot.” -David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
