“An insightful and, on occasion, laugh-out-loud piece of filmmaking. Artfully shot and structured, its warmth and wit shine as brightly as the Californian sun.” EMPIRE.

With 20TH CENTURY WOMEN, acclaimed filmmaker Mike Mills (the Academy Award winning BEGINNERS) brings us a richly multilayered, funny, heart-stirring celebration of the complexities of women, family, time and the connections we search for our whole lives. It is a film that keeps redefining itself as it goes along, shifting with its characters as they navigate the pivotal summer of 1979.

Set in Santa Barbara, the film follows Dorothea Fields (Annette Bening), a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann, in a breakout performance) at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion. Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women in Jamie’s upbringing – via Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a free-spirite punk artist living as a boarder in the Fields’ home, and Julie (Elle Fanning), a savvy and provocative teenage neighbor.

Mills expertly recreates the warmth and passion of a great memory – but also the urgency and energy of three generations in the throes of momentous transition. Bening gives one of her very best performances as Dorothea, conveying with subtle yet tremendous emotional power both her unconditional love for her son and her increasing bewilderment about the world she is watching him enter. Gerwig, Fanning and Billy Crudup all do outstanding work, creating complex, unique characters who each contribute in crucial ways to Jamie’s upbringing. 20TH CENTURY WOMEN is a poignant love letter to the people who raise us – and the times that form us – as this makeshift family forges fragile connections that will mystify, haunt and inspire them through their lives.

THE WALL is a deadly psychological thriller that follows two soldiers pinned down by an Iraqi sniper, with nothing but a crumbling wall between them. Their fight becomes as much a battle of will and wits as it is of lethally accurate marksmanship. Directed by Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “Edge of Tomorrow”), THE WALL stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (“Nocturnal Animals,” “Kick-Ass,” “Savages” “Godzilla,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron”) and WWE star John Cena (“Trainwreck,” “Daddy’s Home”).

Thelma & Louise is a cult classic and for good reason! All at once, Thelma & Louise manages to be funny, heartbreaking and cathartic. Callie Khouri won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and both Davis and Sarandon were nominated for Best Actress. Ridley Scott also earned an Oscar nomination for his directing, which showed a new versatility for comedy.

Best pals, Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) and Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) decide they need a weekend getaway from their humdrum lives. Thelma is married to a controlling brute who likes his wife to be quiet in the kitchen while he watches sports. Louise works as a waitress in a busy diner, and her musician boyfriend is always off on the road somewhere. They jump into Louise’s 1966 Ford Thunderbird convertible, let the top down, and zoom off down the road on a fishing trip. But trouble finds them at a roadhouse pitstop and their relaxing weekend away soon turns into a wild run from the law.

“This wincingly funny, pertinent and heartbreaking road movie means to get under your skin, and it does.” ROLLING STONE

From the writer of Sicario, HELL OR HIGH WATER is a gripping action-thriller about family, crime and justice.

For them, the hold-ups are part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that was stolen from under them. Vengeance seems to be theirs until they find themselves on the radar of Marcus (Jeff Bridges), a Ranger looking for one last grand pursuit on the eve of his retirement, and his partner Alberto (Gil Birmingham). As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their scheme, and with the Rangers on their heels, a murderous showdown looms.
