THINGS TO COME, ELLE AND THE YEAR OF ISABELLE HUPPERT
“Huppert stars in two films so oddly similar in surface specifics and yet so wildly divergent in tone it’s an almost show-offy display of her talents to have Things To Come and Elle playing across the hall from one another at area arthouses. Suddenly the grande dame of European kink cinema is becoming this year’s Oscar season It Girl.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 12/06/2016

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA
“A small story that contains multitudes, Manchester By The Sea is about love, loss and the pitilessness of New England winters. It’s about the things we forgive, and things we can’t forgive ourselves for. It’s also about forgetting where you parked the car on a freezing-cold day, and the logistical difficulties of getting laid when you’re in high school.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 11/22/2016
