With summer turning into fall, it is time for popcorn films to give way to more serious fare at the cineplex, though September won't be without its genre films—including a promising revival of the Blair Witch franchise. In anticipation of the month ahead, our editors have selected September's most noteworthy new movies, including new titles from Clint Eastwood, Andrea Arnold, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, and a few intriguing debuts.
Writer-director Stephen Dunn’s debut feature is a unique coming-of-age story with excellent early reviews. Oscar (Connor Jessup) is artistically driven but struggling to find his place in the world.

With the help of a talking hamster (voiced by Isabella Rossellini) and an attractive new co-worker (Aliocha Schneider), Oscar battles his demons to discover the life he wants.
