AFTER THE HUNT
In his razor-sharp new drama, Luca Guadagnino gives Julia Roberts one of the most complex and gratifying starring roles of her career as a philosophy professor whose life is thrown into chaos after her protégée (Ayo Edebiri) accuses her longtime colleague and friend (Andrew Garfield) of sexual assault.
BLUE MOON
Ethan Hawke delivers a charming, lived-in performance as lyricist Lorenz Hart, holding court at Sardi’s on the historic night of his former collaborator Richard Rodgers’ (Andrew Scott) greatest triumph: the premiere of Oklahoma!

THE MASTERMIND
In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney (Josh O’Connor) sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan. Or so he thinks. From celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt.
