All Is Lost (PG-13) Advance Preview - Thursday Oct.24th at 7:45pm
Rated for brief strong language
Robert Redford - 100 min.This film is a gripping, visceral and powerfully moving tribute to ingenuity and resilience. Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seasTrailer

Enough Said (PG-13)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini - 93 min.This sharp insightful comedy follows Eva, a soon-to-be-empty-nester, as she humorously tries to secretly juggle two relationships and wonders whether her new favorite friend's disastrous ex can be her cue for happiness.Trailer

Wadjda (PG)
Rated for thematic elements, brief mild language and smoking
Reem Abdullah, Waad Mohammed - 98 min.Wadjda's is a 10-year-old girl living in Saudi Arabia. She really wants a bike, but her mother won't allow it, fearing repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue. Despite her mother's worries, Wadjda secretly embarks on a journey to get the bike.Trailer

WADJDA 

Imagine that there are no movie theatres in Saudi Arabia. WADJDA is the first full-length movie filmed entirely in Saudi Arabia......and by a woman. 

"Wadjda is an object of stark beauty, an oasis of free-spirited cinema emerging from the desert."

"A sharply observed, deceptively gentle film, reportedly the first feature ever directed by a Saudi woman. The movie presents the facts of its heroine's life with calm authority and devastating effectiveness. With impressive agility, WADJDA finds room to maneuver between harsh realism and a more hopeful kind of storytelling. There is warmth as well as austerity in Wadjda’s world, kindness as well as cruelty, and the possibility, modestly sketched and ardently desired, of change. Buoyant."
