Why watch this film?
Jim Parsons (Sheldon from ‘The Big Bang Theory’), Claire Danes (‘Homeland’) and Octavia Spencer (‘Hidden Figures’) in a movie about childhood, family, and the difficulty of choosing the right school. The story centers around Jake’s parents, a child who doesn’t fit into society's normal standards and his peers. From there, the movie promotes an inclusive debate with a subtle and elegant script, with great performances by the protagonists - making the audience identify with the parents who are only looking for their child’s happiness. Kudos to director Silas Howard (who worked on successful series such as ‘Transparent’ and ‘This is Us’) who make an attractive and accessible topic that is contemporary and relevant.

The Great Escaper
The Great Escaper is a film inspired by a moving true anecdote and is notable for featuring the final performances of the legendary Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson. The story is about a World War II veteran who, unable to join a trip to France to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day in 2014, decides to escape from the nursing home and go on his own. This initiates a parallel narrative between Bernie's journey and what his wife Rene experiences at the nursing home. Although somewhat superficial, the film presents reflections on the ways war is typically portrayed—and idealized—in cinema. However, it manages to avoid cheap sentimentality, thanks largely to the phenomenal performances of its unparalleled leads.

This Closeness
This Closeness might best be described as a film in the lineage of mumblecore. Directed by indie filmmaker Kit Zauhar (who has already garnered similar acclaim for Actual People), the film is about a young couple in crisis who, over a weekend, rent a room in the apartment of another lonely man, who becomes an unwilling witness to their lives and problems. It's a small and extremely intimate film, about three characters who enter into a negotiation over privacy, where intimacy becomes a weapon and spaces, as well as sound, turn into battlefields both emotional and erotic.
