Wicker (R16)
On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos.
Wild Horse Nine (R13)
Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter Island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone's trip to this remote paradise sideways.
You Can See Everything (M)
Thirty-four days before she's sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.
Primetime (R16)
Inspired by true events in 2006, To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen (Robert Pattinson) sets out to make television history. When a high stakes operation goes fatally wrong, his veneered dream of fame curdles into a nightmare of performative justice in this candy-colored thriller from Lance Oppenheim.
Clayface (R16)
A shape-shifting creature made of magical clay haunts Gotham City, alternating between villain and ally of Batman. Multiple tragic figures have taken on the Clayface mantle over the years.
BIFF26: Virginia Woolf's Night And Day (M)
Love and astronomy don't mix in this refreshing take on the romantic comedy, based on Virginia Woolf's novel and featuring an all-star cast. Haley Bennett (Widow Clicquot) plays Katharine Hilbery, an aspiring astronomer who is passionate about two things, and two things only: the stars and Cambridge University. Katharine's controlling father (Timothy Spall) attempts to push her away from learning and into a marriage with a family friend, the pompous and clueless William (Jack Whitehall). With her independence under threat, Katharine turns to the suffragette movement, spearheaded by the straight-talking Mary (Lily Allen). However, Katharine's life opens up further when she crosses paths with Ralph Denham, a working-class writer hired by her mother to help edit a sprawling family biography. As intellectual and romantic loyalties shift, Katharine is forced to re-evaluate her beliefs about love, ambition, and claiming her place in the world. Fun and contemporary in tone, this is an inventive adaptation of Woolf's story that is as relevant today as it ever was.
