The Room Next Door

Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. Pedro Almodóvar’s finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker.

New York Times Critic’s Pick

The Seed of the Sacred Fig

Winner of a Special Prize from the jury at Cannes after its director escaped a prison sentence in Iran for criticizing the government, Mohammad Rasoulof’s searing drama is an epic of anti-patriarchal political conviction about a judge’s investigator at odds with his progressive daughters.

Golden Globe nominee for Best Motion Picture (Non-English Language)

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl

This holiday season, Wallace and Gromit return with a brand-new epic adventure. In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own.

Golden Globe nominee for Best Motion Picture – Animated
