Truth

14A

"A gripping, beautifully executed thriller. Cate Blanchett in one of her greatest screen performances." - New York Times

"TRUTH dramatically recounts the story behind the '60 Minutes' segment that led Dan Rather (well-played by Robert Redford) to resign from CBS, but the brightest star of this great ensemble piece is Cate Blanchett, who may well end up with another Oscar nomination for playing Rather’s producer Mary Mapes.

The Intern

"Nancy Meyers delivers another funny, warm, smart and sophisticated comedy for adults that features Robert De Niro in perhaps his most likeable performance ever." - Pete Hammond

"The creative force behind such later-in-life comedies like 'Something’s Gotta Give' and 'It’s Complicated' knows her way around mature relationships. But this time with the infectiously likeable 'The Intern,' it’s not romance at the center but rather an inventive spin on a workplace comedy.

Everest

"With its perilous central premise and gallery of individuals some of whom are destined not to make it, you could say Everest is a disaster movie in the old Hollywood sense of the term, but it doesn't feel like one. And that's a good thing." - Hollywood Reporter

“An all-star disaster movie lineup makes a surprising showing in the mountaineering thriller “Everest,” combining to deliver the sort of restrained drama you might expect from a much smaller film. Unnervingly vertiginous visuals are the real draw, still, director Baltasar Kormákur and his cast craft a lean narrative tone that humanizes the action.
