Emma Poster

Emma.

2020 ‧ 124 min ‧ PG ‧ CC, DVS
Common Sense Media Rating: Age 12+


Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is a restless queen bee without rivals in her sleepy little town. In this glittering satire of social class and the pain of growing up, Emma must adventure through misguided matches and romantic missteps to find the love that has been there all along.
It's funnier than most Austen adaptations and more visually beautiful, and then there's the movie's odd tone, which combines a rigorous attention to period detail with an arch and seemingly modern sensibility.
- Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle

Poster for Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Portrait of a Lady on Fire

2020 ‧ 119 min ‧ R ‧ French with English subtitles


France, 1760. Marianne is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Because she is a reluctant bride-to-be, Marianne arrives under the guise of companionship, observing Héloïse by day and secretly painting her by firelight at night. As the two women orbit one another, intimacy and attraction grow as they share Héloïse’s first moments of freedom. Héloïse’s portrait soon becomes a collaborative act of and testament to their love.
A subtle and thrilling love story, at once unsentimental in its
realistic assessment of women’s circumstances and almost
utopian in its celebration of the freedom that is nonetheless available to them.

– A. O. Scott, 
The New York Times
