Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss) is a ’90s punk rock superstar who once filled arenas with her grungy all-female trio Something She. Now she plays smaller venues while grappling with motherhood, exhausted bandmates, nervous record company executives, and a new generation of rising talent eager to usurp her stardom. When Becky’s chaos and excesses derail a recording session and national tour, she finds herself shunned, isolated and alone. Forced to get sober, temper her demons, and reckon with the past, she retreats from the spotlight and tries to recapture the creative inspiration that led her band to success.

Cléo is a pop singer who wanders around Paris while she awaits her biopsy results in fear she may have cancer. As Cléo readies herself to meet with her doctor at 7 o’clock, she meets with several friends and strangers while trying to grapple with mortality. Sensing indifference from those nearest to her, she finds herself questioning the doll-like image people have of her and is overcome by a feeling of solitude and helplessness. She finally finds some comfort in the company of stranger she meets in a park and with whom she is able to have a sincere conversation.
Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
Chris Sievey’s life was a subversive piece of performance art. His greatest creation, a paper mâché headed Frank Sidebottom, became a manic and insane star obscuring his own creator who descended into alcoholism and bankruptcy. The Frank Sidebottom story tells the twisted tale of a split personality, exploring the extraordinary secret life of a songwriter, artist, comedian and wayward genius.
Starring: Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Braco, Paul Sorvino
Martin Scorsese’s 1990s beloved gangster classic spans three decades of the mafia, focusing on the young who grow up in the mob and the way their business changes along with society. Centering around the true story of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) and his friendship with Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy De Vito (Joe Pesci), Goodfellas shows us the inside operations of a long-standing mafia family – who’s accepted, what’s acceptable – that begins with all the glitz-and-glamor but ends with cocaine busts and plea bargaining. In addition to its beautiful cinematography, it’s sexy, tough, and violently funny (Goodfellas contains some of the most memorable lines in movie history). Our favorite scene? Why, it’s when Scorsese’s mother presents her dog painting at the dinner table… What do you want from me?
Starring: Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Brie Larson, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson

THE NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE
In 1979, Madonna Ciccone walked away from her Michigan University college scholarship to pursue a dance career in New York City… Dabbling in odd jobs, figure modeling for photography and art classes, auditioning for acting gigs, the ambitious ingenue finally met a musician named Dan Gilroy who taught her to play drums and guitar. Before long, Madonna, Dan and his brother Ed formed The Breakfast Club.
Break-ups (both creative and personal), transient managers and hangers-on, pushy studio mates, and resentful DJs all came and went… but Madonna quickly learned that she was the only person who could take her where she wanted to go. She pounded the pavement with a cassette tape demo of her first single ‘Everybody’ and, soon enough, a star was born.
Moving, candid interviews with Dan Gilroy, Ed Gilroy, Gary Burke, and others from those early days give first-hand, sentimental accounts of this enigmatic young creature – who is brought magically to life by star Jamie Auld and director Guy Guido’s obsessive, meticulous re-creations of the most iconic moments of the Queen of Pop-to be. Re-enacted dramatizations – in the exact locations, with the exact instruments, and with painstakingly accurate costume and art direction – offer an eerily precise glimpse into the life and times of Madonna and the Breakfast Club.
Starring: Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare
Financial problems, plans gone wrong, strange criminals and female law officials all staged within the brilliant combination of violence and humor – it’s a Coen Brothers film!
Set in the middle of nowhere (aka the cold landscape of Minnesota, U.S.A.), a car salesman hires two criminals to kidnap his wife in order for his father-in-law to pay a hefty ransom. Naturally, things don’t go as planned and, in fact, get quite bloody and out of hand. But on the case is the extremely wise and pregnant police chief who’s hot on the trail. Among the many things to love about this movie are the accents (don’t-cha-know?) and the most clever usage of a wood chipper in cinema.
