Few composers have as close a relationship with their directors as Nate Heller does with Marielle Heller, who happens to be his big sister. “One of the benefits of that is I’m able to sort of see what’s coming down the pike for her,” he explains. So when she signed on to helm “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” he got “a look at the script” earlier than usual. Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Zoey Deutch Halston, Sage Logan Miller in “Before I Fall” by Ry Russo-Young
To begin about this film is to say it is a ‘Ground Hog Day’ story.
The lead character, a popular high school girl, has an unremarkable — if a bit troubling — life, including difficult friends, challenging social life, some boy / sex issues and some big questions for her as to “what’s it all about?”
But why? Toward what end? How to resolve?
As the story begins Sam is one lucky teenager. She’s beautiful, rich, and popular, with the hottest boyfriend and the most loyal friends.
But she and her posse can be cruel and heartless; since elementary school they’ve relentlessly bullied one of their unfortunate female classmates.
On Friday, February 12th, driving home from a party, Sam is in a dramatic car crash.
This mysterious car wreck at the end of her day leads to her — what?...

While Mike Mills may not have been the most prolific filmmaker since adapting Walter Kirn’s Thumbsucker for his first feature in 2005, his ability to get great performances out of his casts is undeniable, especially after Christopher Plummer won an Oscar for his role in Mills’ Beginners in 2010.
Mills’ new film 20th Century Women comes from a similarly personal place as Beginners, as it follows the coming-of-age of 15-year-old Jamie (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann), living in a house in California with his overprotective single mother (Annette Bening), and two boarders, Abbey and William, played by Greta Gerwig and Billy Crudup, in 1979. At the behest of his mother, Abbey and Jamie’s best friend Julie (Elle Fanning) are coerced into helping Jamie learn what it’s like to be a man that’s sympathetic towards women.
It’s a really interesting take on a coming-of-age movie based a lot on Mills’ own teenage years,...

The sunny title is ironic, and in its hint of same-song predictability, more than a little pessimistic. That's fitting for this hard-eyed squint at the underside of flat middle America as gaped through the beads of a neo-Bonnie and Clyde-ish pair.
Although January may be the dog days of indie dumpings, this Trimark film bristles with bulls-eye potshots and sobering craziness. With a brilliant, hair-trigger lead performance by James Woods and an equally impressive, druggy turn by Melanie Griffith as the central crime couple, "Another Day in Paradise" is far more than just another day in the desultory pattern of January releases.
Director Larry Clark has served up a searing insight into a couple of dysfunctional, wired teens (Vincent Kartheiser, Natasha Gregson Wagner) who have smacked dead bottom and are one shot away from the morgue. Luckily for them, they get some shelter in the unlikely form of a pair of guardian angels -- in this case, a pair of peripatetic dope dealers who sideline into any scrap left along the dusty roadside.
Fittingly, "Day in Paradise" is a narrative rush as the foursome cascade into accelerating craziness and self-destruction. It's a countercultural, insightful scenario as Mel and Sid take the two "kids" under their wing and teach them the ropes of doper road life. In a very obvious way, what we have here is a family of sorts, at its most sunnily perverse a criminal, on-the-road vacation with Mom and Pop in the front seat (just like Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo in the "National Lampoon" movies) and the young 'uns fussing and fighting in the back. Overall, the screenplay (Christopher Landon, Stephen Chin) is well-tooled, both sparse and subversive, making its thematic points from a well-scoped distance.
Indeed, it's the dark underside to the nuclear family, a carload fractured by drugs and dislocated with no moral compass or guidelines. What propels this clan is Mel's intense drive, his junkie-style needs to assert himself, take charge and, most vaingloriously, to pass on his knowledge and tradition to the two impressionable, addled teens.
Indeed, it's Woods' combustible, slithery performance that blasts this minimalist morality tale into its deeper dimensions of human need and insecurity. It's a stunningly unrelenting performance of a character junked out by his own ego-induced injections. Watching Woods' performance, we almost feel that there is some sort of chemical imbalance in Mel's brain -- so finely wired is the portrayal.
Griffith is also achingly credible as the blowzy, drugged-up moll. Her casual, insouciant manner, needled nutso, is alluring and frightening. It's an understated, powerful portrayal. As the fractured kids, Kartheiser and Wagner are solid, full of empty urges and frightened by their out-of-control actions.
Under Clark's smoldering direction, the technical contributions are a high point, especially cinematographer Eric Edwards' glowing orange hues and flinty compositions, capturing both the highs and lows of this dead-end road show.
