La Ciénaga - 3.5/5
The decline and dysfunction of a bourgeois Argentinian family as they get together for the summer in their decrepit country home. Pretty good debut from Lucrecia Martel.

The Night of the Hunter - 5/5
A psychotic preacher who preys on helpless widows marries a woman with two children who's husband was put to death for a double homicide while committing a robbery. His goal is to manipulate the family in order to find the money from the robbery which was never recovered. Charles Laughton's masterpiece and the only film he ever directed contain what are probably Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters' best performances. The breathtaking lighting and cinematography from the great Stanley Cortez (The Magnificent Ambersons) is a sight to behold.

Rosetta - 5/5
The daily struggles of a poor Belgian 17-year-old girl who lives in a ram shackled trailer with her alcoholic mother. An amazing and bleak film with a very realistic feel and one of the best acting performances I've ever seen, especially considering that this was Emilie Dequenne's first role. The Dardenne Brothers never disappoint.

James White - 3.5/5
A spoiled reckless man in his twenties must change his life around in order to care for his single mother who is dying of cancer. Good indie film with a flawed lead character that can at times be despisable.

The Fault in Our Stars - I've been meaning to watch this for quite a while, but I never felt like I was in the mood for it--given it's heavy subject matter. I'm glad I finally gave in and turned it on tonight. It was nice to see Shailene Woodley again in something good (i.e., not a Divergent series movie). And, jesus, I was crying like a baby by the end.

Neon Bull - 3.5/5
A Brazilian rodeo worker hopes to one day leave his rough job and pursue his dream of designing women's clothing. Anyone who's sensitive about the treatment of animals should not watch this. While I did like the film for the acting and direction, it lacks plot and becomes repetitive causing it to feel longer than 103 minutes.

Three Days of the Condor - 3/5
Political thriller about a CIA bookworm who one day while doing research stumbles upon a conspiracy within his own organization. When he returns from buying lunch and discovers that his coworkers have been murdered, he runs for his life. Unaware of what he has done and with no one to trust, he kidnaps a woman and hides out in her apartment while he figures out what to do next. Could have been a better film with a different lead actor (Robert Redford is so overrated) and the unnecessary Faye Dunaway character.

'Louise by the Shore' (5/5)
like 'The Red Turtle' the simplicity of the story is heartfelt and the animation is just beautiful.
