Emily
Emily is an engrossing British biographical drama and a part-fictional portrait of a famous writer.
Emily imagines Emily Brontë’s own Gothic story that inspired her seminal novel, Wuthering Heights. Haunted by the death of her mother, Emily (Emma Mackey) struggles within the confines of her family life and yearns for artistic and personal freedom, and so begins a journey to channel her creative potential into one of the greatest novels of all time. [2022, UK, 130 min, Rating: R]
Audrey Fox of Looper.com says, “Emma Mackey is a clear standout in an incredibly demanding role, and together with O'Connor, puts together a dynamic, intriguing character study of an author who has so often been defined solely by her creative works.”

Let It Be Morning
View Screenings
Let It Be Morning is a gentle comedy adapted for the screen from the novel of the same name about a man and his family unexpectedly trapped in their hometown village.
Director Eran Kolirin (The Band’s Visit), poignantly weaves a satirical story around Sami, a middle-class Palestinian businessman based in Jerusalem, and his family who are attending his brother’s wedding in the small Arabic village in Israel where he grew up. Unexpectedly, Sami’s hometown is placed under a military lockdown in a search for West Bank Palestinians living in the village, including those working on the construction of a second home for his family. Sami, now unable to return home, is torn between allegiances and forced to reassess his past and confront his future. Israel’s official Oscar submission, Let It Be Morning swept the 2021 Ophir Awards (Israel’s equivalent of the Oscars). [2021, Israel, 101 min, Rating: NR, In Arabic with English subtitles]
Randy Meyers of the San Jose Mercury News says, “Eran Kolirin’s satirical drama is a wily one, filled with layers and deeper context within its relatively simple framework as it relates the complexities of Palestinian-Israeli relations.”

Women Talking
View Screenings
Women Talking is a riveting drama inspired by a real historical event among the Mennonite men and older boys who were abusing their women.
In 2010, the women of an isolated religious community grapple with reconciling their reality with their faith. For years, men had occasionally drugged the women of their community and sadly raped them. The truth sets these Mennonite women free as they start to talk out loud about their oppressive situations. Through the backstory, we see a community of women come together to figure out how they might move forward to build a better life for themselves and their children. All women face the unbearable decision to stay and fight or leave. As they work to find their voices doing nothing is not an option. The stellar cast includes Clair Foy, Frances McDormand and Ben Whishaw. [2022, US, 104 min, Rating: PG-13]
Susan Granger of SSG Syndicate writes, “Uncompromising monologues about sexual abuse and how solidarity is the key to survival...nominated for two Oscars this year.” Mike Scott of the Sunday Times says, “The film folds Old Testament timelessness with #MeToo topicality and a salting of dry-as-a-bone wisdom.”
