Neglected for decades, this recently restored epic documentary on an elderly rural blacksmith finally gets a theatrical release—and the credit it’s due.

Feminist icon and riot-grrrl legend Kathleen Hanna is the subject of this fierce portrait, chronicling the artist’s life and recent illness.
Philomena

A disgraced journalist (Steve Coogan) and a mother seeking answers (Judi Dench) team up for an unlikely adventure—a comedy tinged with regret.

Crime pays—and so does singing about it, according to this compelling documentary on the world of drug cartels and narcocorridos.
The Great Beauty

Paolo Sorrentino’s biting tale of an aging bon vivant feels like both a glorious throwback to old-school Italian cinema and a bold state-of-the-nation satire.

Matthew McConaughey rolls on through the golden phase of his career with a fleet performance as a rodeo shitkicker turned AIDS activist.
New movie releases
Out of the Furnace
- Rated as: 3/5
A full-on plunge into rust-belt desperation, Scott Cooper’s aching economic tragedy is informed by a dying town.
Tim's Vermeer
- Rated as: 3/5
Nonartist and nerd-of-all-trades Tim Jenison embarked on a six-year odyssey to paint his own Vermeer from scratch.
Twice Born
- Rated as: 2/5
“The weird love stories are always the best,” asserts Emile Hirsch—and you'll have to take his word he means this one.
The Last Days on Mars
- Rated as: 3/5
Yes, it's basically Red Planet crossed with Night of the Living Dead, but don’t be dissuaded by silliness.
Lenny Cooke
- Rated as: 3/5
He coulda been somebody, a contender, instead of a cautionary tale—which is the takeaway of this docu-portrait.
Swerve
- Rated as: 3/5
This thriller has all the elements of a memorably gritty B movie, and for a while, it gets by on its muscular charms.
Night Train To Lisbon
- Rated as: 1/5
Don’t expect much of an adrenaline rush from Bille August’s monumentally dull adaptation of a philosophical novel.
White Reindeer
- Rated as: 1/5
The central joke is that outwardly perfect people have dark secrets, but the film is tainted by a sneering sense of superiority.
