Heartbreaker.

Adrienne Shelley was a force of nature. 

She made her mark as an actress in Hal Hartley movies before turning to writing and directing.

The film "Waitress" was her swan song. A successful Broadway version followed.

Tragically, Adrienne Shelley's life was cut short at the age of 40 by a thieving 19-year-old construction worker at her West Village office. 

Adrienne's widowed husband Andy Ostroy crafted this loving documentary to celebrate her life, and to confront her killer in prison.

Devastating.

NYC is dangerous town.

Not Rated. 98 mins.

People ain't no good.

Writer/director Emerald Fennell makes quite a splash with this steely black comedy.

Predatory guys and the people who protect them get the business end from Carey Mulligan's diabolical mistress of revenge.

Red kisses.

Get back cupid.

These arrows kill.

Cassie (Mulligan) is a martyr through and through.

Fennell's pitch perfect dialogue stings as much as the clever plotting in this indy gem.

You'll squirm, you'll laugh, and you'll feel messed up at the end.

Frat boy mentality goes straight to hell.

Ice is the only thing in the world that is what it's cracked up to be.

Romance this.

Rated R. 113 mins.

JANE BY CHARLOTTE

Although it vaguely gets around to the mysterious obstacle between mother (Jane Birkin) and daughter (Charlotte Gainsbourg), this lazy documentary is a waste.

This home movie isn't even glorified.

If you don't know who Jane Birkin is, much less have knowledge of her actress daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg, this movie will feel like an insiders only affair.

Boring is as boring does.

There's just nothing here.

Not Rated. 88 mins.
