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.
Writer-director Barry Jenkins’ first feature since 2008’s Medicine for Melancholy examines the childhood, adolescence and adulthood of a gay black man growing up in Miami’s inner city. Based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue and with a cast that includes Naomie Harris, André Holland, Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders, and Jharrel Jerome, Moonlight is currently the best-reviewed movie of 2016, scoring (at the time we write this) five points higher than any other film this year.
