Andrea Riseborough (What Remains) gives a stunning Academy Award-nominated performance as the titular Leslie, who finds herself broke and destitute shortly after her big win.
To Leslie is a gritty and honest portrayal of addiction and the ways it not only affects alcoholic and drug-addicted people but also their loved ones.

Based on Jeannette Walls' memoir, The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson (The Marvels) as a writer in New York reflecting on her unconventional — and, at times, dysfunctional — upbringing.

The Glass Castle was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), who also co-wrote the film with Andrew Lanham and Marti Noxon. The movie boasts an outstanding supporting cast that includes Naomi Watts (The Watcher), Sarah Snook (Succession), and Max Greenfield (New Girl).
As we mentioned above, the movie doesn’t quite reach the heights of its source material. However, The Glass Castle did receive praise for its performances, especially that of Larson in the lead role.

- Runtime
- 118 minutes
A film that once again proves that Adam Sandler has the acting chops to take on more serious roles, Hustle is a sports drama that is as sincere as it is sturdy. Sandler plays Stanley Sugarman, a struggling basketball talent scout who aspires to be a coach.

Stanley begins training the young talent for the NBA draft with the hope of making a triumphant comeback story for himself.

Directed and co-written by acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, Okja is a science-fiction adventure that’s as heartfelt as it is fantastical. The film follows Mija (Ahn Seo-hyun), a young girl who lives with her grandfather — one of several people tasked with raising a super pig for a giant corporation that intends to use them for food. Mija bonds with their pig, named Okja, and when the corporation comes to collect, it sets off a series of high-stakes attempts to get her back. The film was written by Bong Joon-ho and Jon Ronson and features an ensemble cast that includes Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Steven Yeun, Jake Gyllenhaal, and more.

The movie is Bong Joon-Ho at his most sentimental, without sacrificing any of his sublime sense of craft. The film finds a dark sense of humor in everything, from jokes about language to whatever is going on with Jake Gyllenhaal, who delivers one of his most eccentric performances ever. It is a more hopeful film than most of the director’s works, though it remains committed to finding more tragic truths amidst the bright colors and vibrant visuals we see along the way.

Based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Nella Larsen, Rebecca Hall’s Passing chronicles the inequality and varying degrees of racism that African Americans in the 1920s faced based on the tone of their skin. Shot in black and white, this historical drama follows the fragile relationship between two high school friends who, because of their lighter skin, are able to “pass” as white. Clare (Ruth Negga) married John (Alexander Skarsgård), a wealthy white man from Chicago who loathes African Americans and is oblivious to the fact that his wife is one. Irene (Tessa Thompson) married a black doctor and lives in Harlem, constantly afraid of being “outed” as black when in white-only establishments. Irene and Clare’s reunion years later sparks conversation and reflection, as well as questions of identity.
Passing premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival and received acclaim from critics, who praised the performances of its cast, as well as Hall’s writing and direction.
