FIVE FAVORITE NEW RELEASES (in alphabetical order):
American Honey - A visually-entrancing journey transforms a coming-of-age character study against a road trip within, around, and beyond modern Americana’s own diverse personality.
Embrace of the Serpent - Decorated with history and mysticism, interwoven tales of two realities cross a jungle of transcendent perspective on mankind’s existence, both vulnerable and invincible.
Hardcore Henry - A shamelessly straight-forward dance through euphoric carnage, producing both gasp and laughter with every technically-innovative punch to the gut.
Hell or High Water - With the gritty tone and sharp wit of hardline Westerns, cold economic commentary grounds a rambunctious heist film decorated with compelling anti-heroes.
The Lobster - Talented cast embodying a uniquely styled and darkly humorous fairytale world that speaks to the basic pursuits of humankind.
HONORABLE MENTION:
Anomalisa
