THE TRUTH

Watch Trailer Director: Hirokazu Koreeda
Cast: Catherine Deneuve, Ethan Hawke, Juliette Binoche

Legends of French cinema Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche join masterful filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters, Still Walking) to paint a moving portrait of family dynamics in THE TRUTH. Fabienne (Catherine Deneuve) is an aging French movie star who, despite her momentary lapses in memory, remains a venerable force to be reckoned with. Upon the publication of her memoirs, her daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche) returns to Paris from New York with her husband (Ethan Hawke) and their young daughter to commemorate its release. A sharp and funny battle of wits ensues between the mother-daughter duo, as Lumir takes issue with Fabienne’s rose-colored version of the past. Reflected cleverly by Fabienne’s latest role in a sci-fi drama, their strained relationship takes a poignant journey toward possible reconciliation. Charming, bold, and imbued with endless emotional insight, THE TRUTH offers a relatable look at human relationships, featuring exquisite performances from its all-star cast.

One of Deneuve's greatest performances, with Kore-eda transforming the magisterial persona she frequently supplies to other directors into something more complex, tragic and yet defiant. She deserves awards for it. And so does the film.

As much as it makes you laugh, Waititi's must-watch effort is a warm hug of a movie that just so happens to have a lot of important things to say.

LITTLE WOMEN

Watch Trailer Director: Greta Gerwig
Writer(s): Greta Gerwig, Louisa May Alcott
Cast: Florence Pugh, Meryl Steep, Emma Watson,

Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms — is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.

Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, including

  1.  Best Picture

  2. Best Actress – Saoirse Ronan

  3. Best Supporting Actress – Florence Pugh

  4. Best Adapted Screenplay – Greta Gerwig

  5. Best Costume Design *WINNER*

Sandler is so good, so committed and so watchable that, despite everything - Howard's irrationality, a rogue's gallery of unpleasant characters, the foreboding of a bad, bad end - you can't take your eyes off the screen, which Sandler seldom vacates.
