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.
Martin Scorsese’s latest, his first feature since 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street, has been a passion project for the director since he read Shusaku Endo’s novel in 1989. The intense 17th century drama follows two Jesuit priests (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) who travel to Japan, where Christianity is banned, in an attempt to find their missing mentor (Liam Neeson). As they travel the countryside, they witness the harsh persecution of Japanese Christians and are tortured themselves. The film has challenged critics and will surely do the same to audiences willing to brave its 160-minute runtime.
