“The Last Showgirl”
From its uniquely female lens, the film captures the gradual acceptance of a fading spotlight with a graceful authenticity that really hits home.
“Ezra”
Blends humor and heart so well, providing a funny and moving look at fatherhood and redemption.
“Daddio”
A talky, artsy character study that shows off the impressive range of its two leads.
“Swan Song”
A fascinating, laser-focused documentary that offers an immersive look into the complex world of ballet.
“Hit Man”
This generic, unsatisfying, genre blending disaster has only one saving grace: the lead actor’s bonafide star power.
