Starred Up ***
A teenage
offender's violent behavior gets him moved to an adult prison in Ireland
that includes his long-incarcerated father.
Searing prison drama that ranks as one of the best of
its kind: It impeccably weaves the grand illusion of virtue in an environment
that deconstructs men to their core depravity. The acting is extraordinary.

Force Majeure **
While
holidaying in the French Alps, a Swedish family deals with the ramifications of
an avalanche.
Fascinating, immutable assessment on gender roles,
staged with a precise eye and a comic edge.

A Walk Among the Tombstones *
A private
investigator is hired by a drug kingpin to find out who kidnapped him and
murdered his wife.
Brooding, curious crime thriller that inspires to be
an urgent work of woe, but ultimately remains simply manipulative.
