No screenings currently scheduled.

In the House

At once sly comedy and tense thriller In the House is a story about storytelling; about what can happen when we get lost inside a life that isn’t ours. It’s fiction about life that becomes fiction that might be life. 

No screenings currently scheduled.

During his 20-year career, Jem Cohen has shown his films in museum auditoriums more often than in commercial theaters. So it's fitting that Museum Hours, the arty documentarian's latest feature-length effort, is so indebted to Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum. Cohen likes to happen upon stories and images, and the 19th-century Austrian culture palace is brimming with both.

14A

Tim Tharp's unsentimental tale of adolescent frustration comes to the screen in this comedy-drama following the story of a sociable high-school senior whose self-delusion shattered by his emerging friendship with an unpopular classmate. Sutter Keely is one of the most popular kids in his class. Outgoing and fun-loving, he's completely oblivious as to what awaits him beyond high school.

PG

The Way Way Back gets it wittily, thrillingly right. It turns the familiar into something bracingly fresh and funny. It makes you laugh, then breaks your heart.

The Act of Killing
14A

A blood-boiling look at a crime whose perpetrators remain national heroes in their native Indonesia, Joshua Oppenheimer’s “The Act of Killing” challenges those responsible for carrying out the executions of nearly a million convicted “communists” with a chance to re-create scenes about the murders in whatever way they choose.

Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain
14A

CO-PRESENTED BY THE KITCHENER-WATERLOO COMEDY FESTIVAL

“Kevin Hart is difficult to dislike. He exudes comedy with every spirited step and elaborate gesture. He’s hilarious, but almost as important, he’s self-aware enough to joke about his shortcomings.

No screenings currently scheduled.

Frances Ha
14A

Quirky, in the best possible way, Frances Ha ( * * * ½ out of four) is a witty and emotionally resonant portrait of growing up while retaining the exuberance of youth. We can't help but root for Frances, though the Ha (short for Halliday) often seems as if it could stand for "hapless."

No screenings currently scheduled.
