The Invitation (Drafthouse Films, NR)
The Invitation establishes itself as one of the better psycho-thrillers to have surfaced in recent years.
St. Louis International Film Festival
I Saw the Light (Sony Pictures Classics, R)
Maybe this film will recruit new members for the church of Williams, even if it isn’t able to successfully preach to the choir.
Touched with Fire (Roadside Attractions, R)
While somewhat flawed Touched with Fire is still worth seeing.
Youth (Fox Searchlight Pictures, R)
The film has the benefit of featuring a strong enough ending as to make one reassess everything that has come before.
Red Army (Sony Pictures Classics, PG)
The main reason why Red Army works so well is that it focuses primarily on one notable of the Red Army team, Slava Fetisov, and he’s quite a character.
