Reuniting writer-director Caroline Vignal and actress Laure Calamy from 2020’s hit comedy My Donkey, My Lover and Me, It’s Raining Men is the tale of a frustrated wife and mother, Iris (Calamy), neglected by her workaholic husband, and discovering the wondrous new world of dating apps. To her amazement, sex for a woman at this point in the twenty-first century comes in all shapes and sizes, and without consequence (so long as you play your cards right — and learn how to turn notifications off on your phone.)
A natural comedienne, Calamy charts Iris’s journey from inhibition to enthusiastic sexual adventuress with droll delight, and Vignal observes the inevitable complications without judgment, but with a wry detachment.

Also Playing
One to One: John and Yoko
Both a concert film (Madison Square Gardens, August 1972) and a time machine, dropping us into the dizzying political kaleidoscope of the early 1970s, Kevin Macdonald's latest documentary is a rewarding addition to Lennon Studies.
Secret Mall Apartment
The stranger-than-fiction true story of a group of artists who built and furnished a hidden apartment inside a mall, remaining undetected for years. This is an absurdly fun and surprisingly profound film about gentrification and art.
Rose
Rose, 78 years old, has just lost her adored husband. When her grief gives way to a powerful impulse to live, making her realize that she can still redefine herself as a woman, the whole balance of the family is upset.
The Encampments
When pro-Palestine protests took hold of Columbia last year, the filmmakers were there from the beginning. This documentary charts the mounting tensions between students and the administration, as the protests were picked up across North America.
