“From master storyteller Guillermo del Toro comes ‘The Shape of Water,’ an otherworldly fable set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment. Rounding out the cast are Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Doug Jones.” — FOX Searchlight.
The official site for “The Post” informs us as follows: “Steven Spielberg directs Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks in ‘The Post,’ a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post’s Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. presidents. The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers — and their very freedom — to help bring long-buried truths to light. This marks the first time Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have collaborated on a project.”
One other film of note, as it makes its exclusive premiere to our city this weekend, is called “Every Day.”
It is the story of a 16-year old girl who falls in love with a mysterious soul named “A” who inhabits a different body every day. Feeling an unmatched connection, Rhiannon and A work each day to find each other, not knowing what or who the next day will bring. It is rated PG and is 97 minutes long, playing nightly at 7:15 and 9:45 p.m.
