Unprecedented in its long-haul production methods, this expansive drama from writer-director Richard Linklater is a coming-of-age tale like no other. Nominated for six Oscars®—including a Supporting Actress win for Patricia Arquette—this is a deeply felt ode to growing pains and parental wisdom.

This sweet, surprising true-crime film from Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise) proves part crafty black tragicomedy, part tabloid mockumentary, a lighthearted telling of the real-life story of a 1996 murder in small-town Texas. Starring Shirley MacLaine and an impressive, career-best Jack Black.

Powered by an avid love for Blaze Foley, a forgotten yet hugely influential country music legend, Ethan Hawke’s golden-hued biopic breaks all the rules. Featuring a stellar cast including Alia Shawkat, this heartfelt ode to a star that burned too brightly basks in the poetry of artistic expression.
