A very eclectic, fun week, including Criterions of New Queer Cinema classic The Watermelon Woman and Rosanna Arquette Martin Scorsese classic After Hours, Ari Aster’s admirable but not-quite-there attempt to make his own After Hours (but twice as long), the fourth most recent Hong Sang-soo movie (despite being released last year), and the actual movie named “McBain“. Maybe best of all is Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, where Kelly Fremon Craig once again makes a movie in a familiar mold with uncommon insight and attention to detail, a movie that anyone will be able to see reflections of their own life in if they give it the chance. You’ll also get to see what could be the best Rachel McAdams performance to date, a depressingly rare showcase of her gifts at both comedy and quiet-but-debilitating sadness.
