If you still haven’t seen some of the films honored at the Academy Awards on Sunday, you can still see all of the following this week: Anora (winner for Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Editing, and Actress), The Brutalist (Best Actor, Score, and Cinematography), Flow (Best Animated Feature), I’m Still Here (Best International Film), and No Other Land (Best Feature Documentary). All are fantastic and, as one social media user posted after listening to Sean Baker’s speech extolling the virtues of seeing movies in movie theaters, “movies just hit different at the cinema.”
And if you’ve already seen these films, check out The Fishing Place, which we open Friday at the Royal. The New Yorker film critic Richard Brody wrote that it’s better than all of the ten Best Picture nominees!
