I'll Be Right There

Wanda (Edie Falco) wants to take care of everyone in her life. Her heavily pregnant daughter wants a wedding, which Wanda’s ex-husband is flaking on paying for. Her mother thinks she's dying. Her wayward son is either going into rehab or the army. Her long-time boyfriend doesn't excite her, and her new girlfriend doesn't either. She barely has time for herself—not that she’d know what to do with it anyway.

“[This] illuminating doc examines the private and professional sides of an enduring film partnership.” —David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

Merchant Ivory is the first definitive feature documentary on the professional and personal partnership of director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and their primary associates, writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and composer Richard Robbins.

Good One

"Subtly dark, humorous, and wise, Good One leans into its wilderness backdrop in all of its liberating (and, sometimes, paradoxically claustrophobic) properties, which fellow hikers will recognize and hold close.” —Tomris Laffly, Harper's Bazaar

Between the Temples

“Jason Schwartzman gives Carol Kane a belated bat mitzvah in a winningly off-kilter comedy. Buoyed by the unlikely chemistry between its two stars, this alternately raucous and tender 'Harold and Maude' riff is the warmest work to date from microbudget auteur Nathan Silver.” —Guy Lodge, Variety

A cantor (Jason Schwartzman) in a crisis of faith finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher (Carol Kane) re-enters his life as his new adult bat mitzvah student.

Coup!

“A jaunty class-war comedy.” —Variety

Isolated on a seaside estate, an entitled journalist (Billy Magnussen) and his socialite wife (Sarah Gadon) take in a mysterious grifter as a private cook (Peter Sarsgaard). When a plague descends on the island, the wily cook rouses his fellow staff to rebel and take over the mansion. Their employer suspects the cook’s coup is part of a more sinister agenda, and mind games between master and servant escalate into all-out class warfare.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

John Hughes, 1986
PG-13; 103 minutes

“Ferris Bueller, an amazing high-school senior, leads a charmed life. First of all, he is actually popular across group lines - breaking a teen-age hierarchy that makes India's caste system look egalitarian. The jocks, druggies, heavy-metal types, preppies, losers, grinds, and popular kids all think he's swell. Why? Because he has that magic ability so prized in adolescence - he can get away with anything.” –Nina Darnton, The New York Times

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Amy Heckerling, 1982
R; 90 minutes

“This movie’s DNA lives on in every pair of black-and-white-checked slip-on Vans, every utterance of ‘awesome,’ and every teen sex scene that’s honest enough to show something more truthful than soft-focus romance.” –Dana Stevens, The Criterion Collection
