SANCTUARY
Jun 2 to Jun 5
Friday thru Monday 8pm ONLY!
Dir. Zachary Wigon - 2023 - 96m - No Matinees
A wickedly dark comedy follows dominatrix, Rebecca (Emmy Award® nominee Margaret Qualley), and her wealthy client, Hal (Christopher Abbott), as they engage in a high stakes role playing game for power and control.
In the wake of inheriting his father’s hotel chain, Hal attempts to end his long and secret relationship with Rebecca. A battle of wills ensues over the course of one incredibly fraught night, with both Rebecca and Hal struggling to keep the upper hand as the power dynamics swing wildly back and forth.
"Writer Micah Bloomberg’s script ingeniously incorporates the movie’s themes into its structure, and Qualley and Abbott—but especially Qualley—playfully keep the audience guessing throughout." - Katie Rife, RogerEbert.com
"If you’re someone who regularly bemoans the dearth of movies for adults, then take heart: “Sanctuary” is here for you." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
There’s no way to get a total read on what Qualley’s protagonist is up to, which turns out to be the primary thrill of this snapshot of personal, professional, and class warfare." - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"Two of the best acting performances of 2023, with a narrative that will spark great conversation, in a sharp portrayal of the many pleasures– or pains–that can happen in a person’s world." - Leo Brady, AMovieGuy.com

THE THIRD SATURDAY IN OCTOBER: PART V

Friday 10:30pm ONLY!
Dir. Jay Burleson - 2023 - 89m - ALL SEATS $8
BONUS - PRODUCER FRANK CRAFTS AND THE ART DIRECTOR ELLAR COLTRANE (OF BOYHOOD FAME!) WILL BE IN PERSON FOR TALK/Q&A!
It’s Part V. Unstoppable killer Jakkariah “Jack” Harding is back in town after seven years, as he stalks and kills at random before chancing upon a football watch party. The game is, of course, between longstanding rivals the Alabama-Mobile Seahawks and Tennessee A&M Commonwealth. Chaos ensues, in increasingly ridiculous fashion, with inventive murders and multiple love triangles. Hearts are broken and appendages are torn.
“This double feature was nothing short of a complete blast.” – Horrorobsessive
“A new slasher franchise masquerading as a forgotten gem that pays loving tribute to the sub-genre with bloody success.” – Killer Horror Critic
Channels the original movies in the genre perfectly.” – Splatterpunkreviews

TORI AND LOKITA
Jun 2 to Jun 5
Friday thru Monday 4pm, 6pm
Dir. Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne - 2023 - 88m - Belgium/France - In French w/ English subtitles
From two-time Palme d’Or winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne (Two Days, One Night) comes the story of seventeen-year-old Lokita and twelve-year-old Tori (in remarkable debut performances from Pablo Schils and Joely Mbundu), two immigrants — from Benin and Cameroon, respectively — struggling for survival on the margins of society.
The inseparable pair work as performers in a cheap trattoria, dealing drugs on the side for the restaurant’s abusive cook, while balancing the demands of an indifferent bureaucracy and a band of violent smugglers. When Lokita is held captive while working in a marijuana grow house, Tori scrambles to save his companion from their abusers, as events spiral out of control.
Winner of the 75th Anniversary Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, the latest humanist drama from the Dardenne Brothers is a heart-stopping thriller that casts an unflinching eye on the young and dispossessed.
"The Dardennes' strongest, most dramatically persuasive film in years." - Manohla Dargis, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"The best film of the year so far ... contends that true families are comprised of people who stick by you no matter what.” - Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"The Dardennes’ most emotionally engaging film ... every detail, performance and bit of craftsmanship is executed with unfussy perfection." - Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter
"GRIPPING ... REMARKABLE ... SUSPENSEFUL. While the Dardennes are rightly extolled for their low-key artistry and philosophical depth, it isn’t pointed out often enough that they continue to make some of the most gripping action movies around." - Justin Chang, The Los Angeles Times
