12+ Films to See in December
With Academy Award nominations rapidly approaching, December is the month when several major contenders will finally be unveiled. While most moviegoers must wait until January to see films like Martin Scorsese's Silence, Ben Affleck's Live by Night, Mike Mills' 20th Century Women, and Theodore Melfi's Hidden Figures, there are still plenty of solid choices headed to a cineplex near you this month, including Damien Chazelle's La La Land, Denzel Washington's Fences, Pablo Larraín's Jackie, and more. We've picked out the best of the bunch below.
Maren Ade’s follow-up to Everyone Else was the best reviewed movie at Cannes this year. But, to the surprise of many, it didn’t win a single award from the jury. In its 162-minute running time, this German comedy chronicles the strained but loving relationship between Winfried (Peter Simonischek) and his workaholic daughter Ines (Sandra Hüller). Winfried’s attempts to get closer to is daughter involve an escalating series of practical jokes, culminating in the alter ego of the title, a “life coach” in a strange wig and fake teeth. Look for the film as it expands across the U.S. through January.
