10 Films to See in January
Many of 2016's potential award contenders opened in December ... if you lived in Los Angeles or New York by the one or two theaters where they were screening to qualify for Academy Awards consideration. Those films—including the latest from Martin Scorsese, Mike Mills, Peter Berg, and more—will get a proper nationwide theatrical release in January. Find details on those movies, plus other promising new January releases (including that rarest of things: a good new film from M. Night Shyamalan), below.
Early reviews have been good for M. Night Shyamalan’s horror film follow-up to The Visit. Split stars James McAvoy as Kevin, a man with dissociative identity disorder. His 23 personalities have been kept in check, but a 24th is about to threaten the lives of three teenage girls played by Anya Tayl/aor-Joy (The Witch), Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula.
