Reviews

Wildcat: Trevor Frost and Melissa Lesh’s Life-Affirming, Into the Wild Documentary, Starring Harry Turner, Samantha Zwicker

Set in the Peruvian rainforest, Frost and Lesh’s inspirational nature movie should appeal to animal lovers, who will bond with the orphaned ocelot.

Deliver Me From Nowhere: Springsteen Biopic, Jeremy Allen White, Marc Maron, Gaby Hoffmann, David Krumholtz

“Deliver Me From Nowhere” follows Springsteen during the creation of his 1982 album “Nebraska,” a stripped-down record that marked creative shift from the anthemic “Born to Run” and “The River.”

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988): Zemeckis’ Innovative Comedy, Starring Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd

Combining live-action and animation, the film is set in alternate history Hollywood, circa 1947, where humans and cartoon characters (“toons”) co-exist.

Spies, The (1957): Clouzot’s Cold War Espionage Thriller, Starring Véra Clouzot, Curd Jürgens, Sam Jaffe, Peter Ustinov

The movie benefits from its taut construction and twisty plot, which looks at the rivalry between the American and Soviet superpowers from a French perspective.
