🎥 The Odyssey
(Fri, July 17th — wide release)
Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan turns Homer’s ancient Greek epic into a massive IMAX-scaled adventure about war, monsters, gods, and one exhausted man trying to get home. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, whose return from Troy becomes a brutal trial of survival and devotion, while Anne Hathaway’s Penelope holds Ithaca against circling suitors and Tom Holland’s Telemachus protects a father’s legacy. With Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, and more, this old-school studio epic turns one of literature’s oldest journeys into the kind of big-screen event only Nolan could make feel new again.
🎥 Steal Away
(Fri, July 17th — limited release)
Angourie Rice stars as a teenager whose identity starts to crack when her family takes in a refugee played by Mallori Johnson. What begins as curiosity slides into desire, jealousy, and obsession, until wanting someone else’s life becomes dangerously close to erasing her own. Written and directed by Clement Virgo, this indie drama turns adolescent fascination into something sharper, stranger, and harder to escape.
🎥 Horsegirls
(Fri, July 17th — limited release)
Lillian Carrier stars as Margarita, a 22-year-old woman with autism who finds freedom in the wonderfully specific world of hobbyhorsing. As her mother’s illness returns, that passion becomes more than an escape... it becomes a declaration of independence. Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Lauren Meyering, this heartfelt debut turns an unlikely arena into a moving story about family, self-determination, and letting go.
🎥 The Kidnapping of Arabella
(Fri, July 17th — limited release, in the NY)
Quarter-life crises usually involve career panic and questionable choices, not a runaway kid who may be your younger self. Benedetta Porcaroli stars as Holly, a restless woman stuck in a dead-end job who becomes convinced Arabella (Lucrezia Guglielmino) has crossed time to give her another shot. Written and directed by Carolina Cavalli, with Chris Pine as Arabella’s self-absorbed author father, this Italian fable turns regret and escape into a tender cosmic road story.
🎥 American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez
(Fri, July 17th — limited release, at NY’s Film Forum)
Luis Valdez gets the spotlight in this cultural portrait from writer-director David Alvarado, tracing the Mexican-American playwright and filmmaker’s path from the farm fields of Delano to Broadway and Hollywood. Narrated by Edward James Olmos, who starred in Valdez’s landmark Zoot Suit and its 1981 film adaptation, the documentary revisits the founding of El Teatro Campesino, the breakthrough of Zoot Suit, and the making of La Bamba. It’s a story about art as a weapon, theater as a movement, and the Chicano voice that helped reshape the American stage.
