The Worst Person in the World (2021)

Set in contemporary Oslo, this sharp romantic comedy follows Julie (Cannes Best Actress winner Renate Reinsve), a witty and impulsive woman in her thirties, as she ricochets between careers, lovers, and existential doubts.

Lee (2023)

A gripping WWII historical drama based on a true story, this film follows war correspondent and Vogue photographer Lee Miller (Kate Winslet) as she trades the glamour of fashion for the horrors of the front line.

I Think We’re Alone Now (2018)

Del (Peter Dinklage) is alone in the world. After the human race is wiped out, he lives in his small, empty town, content in his solitude and the utopia he’s methodically created for himself – until he is discovered by Grace (Elle Fanning), an interloper whose history and motives are obscure. Worse yet, she wants to stay.
