Indie Picks

"'Ex Machina' is an eerie, engrossing film that raises pertinent philosophical questions about consciousness and artificial intelligence. Masterfully crafted suspense quickens the pulse, but senseless plot twists and clichéd elements leave room for improvement." [...]

Foxcatcher
"In Foxcatcher, the sports and psychological drama genres come together to produce an intense, gripping story with characters whose inner workings never fail to transcend understanding." [...]
