Director: John Cameron Mitchell
Despite a title that suggests the self-help genre, How to Talk to Girls at Parties is about a young punk named Enn (Alex Sharp) partying in a London suburb in the 1970s. He and his friends stumble upon what appears to be a sex den of beautiful exchange students. Enn is particularly drawn to Zan (Elle Fanning) and worries about how to lure her away from this strange suicide cult, only to find that the truth is even stranger: Zan is an alien, anxious to experience Earthling culture with Enn. Tr...
Director: Jonathan Glazer
An alien (Scarlett Johansson) disguises herself as a beautiful human woman and drives around Scotland luring lonely, unsuspecting men into her van for harvesting. Under the Skin is one of those weird and wondrous films that will alienate casual viewers but fascinate true film buffs. Director Jonathan Glazertakes on the fear of female sexuality using fantasy to provoke and unnerve, probing and dismantling gender identity. This arthouse horror isn’t so much a story as a subversion. Its hypnotic...
Director: John Maclean
A lesser-known A24 film on Max, Slow West is a revisionist Western film that serves as John Maclean's directorial debut. In it, Michael Fassbender plays a bounty hunter who hides a dark secret from the Scottish teenager he's tasked with protecting (Kodi Smit-McPhee) as they look for someone in Colorado. Set in the 1800s, the film is peculiar and often has surrealist elements that some viewers may find jarring. A major reason why the film works so exceptionally well is the amazing performances...
Director: J.C. Chandor
A Most Violent Year is a grossly underrated crime drama from director J. C. Chandor.

Taking place in 1981 New York City, the film follows the lives of Abel Morales and his family as they attempt to expand their family business and company. Their small company is caught in the middle of mafia-like competitors, violent henchme...

Directors: Daniel Scheinert, Daniel Kwan
Before they would go on to direct the Best Picture-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once, directing duo Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan would show off their absurdly comedic style of filmmaking in Swiss Army Man. The film follows the story of Hank (Paul Dano), who finds himself stranded on a deserted island, having completely given up hope of ever returning home. However, he is soon given a chance at hope when a dead body (Daniel Radcliffe) washes ashore, and Hank realizes that this new...
Director: Bo Burnham
Directed by notable stand-up comedian Bo Burnham, Eighth Grade is a realistic and powerful portrayal of a student's painful and awkward teenage years as they prepare for the first steps of growing up. The film follows the story of Kayla (Elsie Fisher), a thirteen-year-old who is dealing with the pain and struggles of suburban adolescence as she experiences her last week of middle school, capping off a painful and regretful eighth-grade year. While Burnham is certainly able to lend his comedic...
