13 Films to See in October
October. It's the time of year when the leaves are changing color, election season is heating up, and the Cubs are doing whatever they can to avoid a World Series title. (Well, maybe not this year.) October also marks the return of serious movies to the cineplex as the first batch of this year's awards contenders are unveiled. And there are certainly some noteworthy releases due in the coming weeks, including this year's big Sundance winner, the latest films from Ava DuVernay, Park Chan-wook, Kelly Reichardt, and Terrence Malick, and 2016's highest-scoring film.
Kim A. Snyder’s documentary looks at how the community of Newtown, Connecticut is coping with the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings which resulted in the deaths of 20 children and six adults in 2012. The film focuses on how three families live with their memories of that day and those they lost. When the film premiered at Sundance, critics were impressed with Snyder’s restraint and empathy in dealing with a difficult subject.
