See Girl Run

What do you do if you’re in your 30s and you wake up one day only to realize your marriage is in a rut? Some people would advise you to hang in there but Emmie has a different take on things: she packs her bags, walks out on her husband without any warning and moves back in with her parents, announcing her intentions to support her depressive brother Brandon at this difficult time.

What do you do if you’re in your 30s and you wake up one day only to realize your marriage is in a rut? Some people would advise you to hang in there but Emmie has a different take on things: she packs her bags, walks out on her husband without any warning and moves back in with her parents, announcing her intentions to support her depressive brother Brandon at this difficult time. What she’s really doing of course is hatching a master plan about reuniting with her high school sweetheart, the great love of her life that never reached its full potential when she moved away to college. What would have happened is she had stayed? Playing fantasy against reality and savouring the disillusionment of a thirty-something generation that suddenly realizes the bliss of long-term relationships isn’t what pop culture had led them to believe it would be, Nate Meyer has no intention of letting his characters off the hook. Realistic, tragic and funny all at once, "See Girl Run" feels like a needle piercing right through your heart: so small and yet so painfully monumental! Ph.V.

    Los Chidos

    Los Chidos

    The Gonzales family try hard to hold on to their beautiful Latino traditions of misogyny and homophobia. Proprietors of a tire repair junkyard, they spend all day watching TV, fondling each other, eating like pigs, drinking like fish and showing a general disregard for social conventions. The appearance of a tall, white Stranger in their midst tips the scales and their masks are shed to disastrous effect.

    Graceland

    Graceland

    This year's sleeper hit comes by way of the Philippines, as we descend into the inner sanctum of corruption and lawlessness in the streets of Manila. Exploring the fine line between revenge and human depravity, "Graceland" is a slow-burning thriller that draws you in, sending chills down your spine. Marlon is Manuel Chango's personal chauffer, a well-respected member of the Filipino Congress.

    Rent-A-Cat

    Rent-A-Cat

    Sayoko – the closest thing to a Japanese "Amelie" – lives alone after the death of her beloved grandmother, and rents out cats to lonely people for a living. This simple premise is the base recipe for an unexpectedly feel-good film not coming to a theater near you anytime soon.

    Keep the Lights On

    Keep the Lights On

    Far from being your typical boy meets boy story, this sensitive and - to a certain extend - autobiographical film by Ira Sachs, traces the passionate, meteoric and highly adventurous relationship between a young director and an equally young lawyer, as it unfolds after they make the decision to stay together and fight each other's demons, substance abuse and personal weaknesses.

    Safety Not Guaranteed

    Safety Not Guaranteed

    “WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before."

    Between Us

    Between Us

    Two couples, one friendship, two different planets. Grace and Carlo are newlyweds. They live in New York, where up-and-coming photographer Carlo is the toast of the art world. Joel, an old college friend, has moved to the Midwest with his wife Sharyl and is reaping the rewards of a succesful career in advertising.
