10 Films to See in February
The shortest month of the year is typically an uninspiring one at the cineplex. But this February is not without its intriguing releases, including a well-reviewed new horror film from Key & Peele's Jordan Peele, one of the best documentaries in recent memory, the year's only Polish vampire musical (so far), an Oscar-nominated animated tale, and sequels to recent successes like John Wick and The LEGO Movie.
At the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, director Agnieszka Smoczynska won a Special Jury Award for Unique Vision and Design for this tale of cannibalistic mermaid sisters Silver (Marta Mazurek) and Golden (Michalina Olszanska), who take human form when they meet a family of musicians. Soon they’re working at a dance club, where Silver falls for a man while Golden tries (and fails) to repress her thirst for human flesh. This unique fairy-tale combines musical numbers and horror to explore exploitation, sexuality and the difficulties of growing up.
