Mother’s Day Deal: Two adult tickets for $15
Ask anyone about their relationship with their mother, you never get a short answer. Greta Gerwig’s first film as writer-director is a delightful, painful comedy about “Lady Bird” (“It was given by myself to myself”) McPherson (Saoirse Ronan), a Sacramento teen on the point of swapping Catholic high school for college, and her hard-working mom, Marion (Laurie Metcalf). If Lady Bird can’t wait to reinvent herself, Marion agrees there is plenty of room for improvement. But they’re more alike than either of them fully appreciates.
Big-screen perfection … exceptionally well-written, full of wordplay and lively argument. Every line sounds like something a person might actually say, which means that the movie is also exceptionally well acted… You will almost certainly love it.
AO Scott, New York Times
Lady Bird is both generous and joyous, but when it stings, it stings deep.
Stephanie Zacharek, Time
Simply perfect filmmaking from a voice that demands to be heard.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Aardman Animation's handcrafted mix of dad jokes, slapstick, mock dramatics and understated emotion makes this return for the claymation odd couple a constant delight. The villainous Feathers McGraw is back to no good, commandeering Norbot the robot. Rated: G
The End
Set in a deluxe bunker two decades after environmental collapse, the first dramatic feature from Joshua Oppenheimer (Act of Killing) is an unironic musical starring Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon, and George MacKay. The cult starts here.
It's a Wonderful Life
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. This Christmas classic is whimsical, sure, but it has the depth to stand up to multiple watches, and it really should be a communal experience, because that is what it's about. Rated: G
