Written/directed by Jordan Peele ofKey & Peele,Get Out is a brand new horror movie set on a cursed family estate, and starring Daniel Kaluuya, Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener.
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to muster the courage to watch this one because right in this very moment, I’m already too scared. Scrap that. I have to watch this. It looks too unlike everything else.
In Unless, which stars Brendan Coyle, Hannah Gross and Catherine Keener, a writer (Keener) struggles with her daughter’s decision to drop out of college to do something very unexpectedly different.
Directed by Alan Gilsenan, Unless is based on Carol Shields’s acclaimed novel of the same name.
Keener is the main reason I’ll tune in. I also really want to know what’s going on with Gross’s character, Nora. I’d like to believe that she’s simply in the midst of social research, but probably not. What do you think?
Hanna Schygulla, Abigail Winter and Chloe Rose also star.
I’d been looking forward to watching Begin Again for a while. Being a big Mark Ruffalo fan is one of the reasons. The other is Keira Knightly; but really, the biggest draw of all is the story about individuals who chance upon a way to start over after things unexpectedly fall apart.
The story is great for anyone who can relate to the subject matter as well as if you’re just after a well executed drama set in New York City and with good music at the heart.
Adam Levine, Hailee Steinfeld, Yasin Bey (better known as Hip/Hop artist Mos Def) and Catherine Keener make up the very competent supporting cast.
Written and directed by John Carney, Begin Again is a universal story beautifully told. The family element, especially the father/daughter relationship between Ruffalo and Steinfeld’s characters is a lovely highlight, as is what James Corden achieves in his role.

Watch it because it’s good and because you can’t be in New York City right now but you really want to be. In case you find yourself worrying about Keira Knightley’s singing, it’s admittedly not the best but it also isn’t bad enough to kill the film.
