80 For Brady
A week of dramatic contrasts begins on the lighter side with 80 for Brady, in which Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Sally Field embark on a quest to meet NFL superstar Tom Brady. The high-powered leads are uniformly terrific, with spiky Tomlin sailing through the emotional material and Fonda having fun with her character's second career as a saucy fan-fiction author.

The Beasts offers a radical change of tone. The Spectator calls it “a riveting, merciless study of human nature, so cleverly tense throughout that even a game of dominoes becomes menacing.” Antoine and Olga are a French couple who settled long ago in a village in the interior of Galicia. However, a conflict with their neighbours causes tension in the village that will rise to a point of no return. 65 is a lean, mean exercise in sci-fi suspense. After a catastrophic crash on an unknown planet, pilot Mills (Adam Driver) quickly discovers he’s actually stranded on Earth... 65 million years ago. It’s a tight 90 minutes of dino mayhem. My Sailor My Love is a quiet yet profoundly powerful film aching in emotional sophistication and depth. A retired sea captain and his daughter must reassess their strained relationship after he begins a new romance with a widowed housekeeper. I’m Fine (Thanks for Asking) is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a recently homeless mother who convinces her 8-year-old daughter that they are only camping for fun while working to get them off the streets.
