This week at Harbor Theater
"Everything's Going To Be Great" - (R; 1 hour, 35 minutes) - As the Smart family wrestle with their over-sized dreams, they come to realize that the struggle to find your voice and your place in the world can happen no matter what stage of life you’re in. There’s no business like show business – for Buddy and Macy Smart (Primetime Emmy® winner Bryan Cranston and Oscar® winner Allison Janney) that means an unpredictable life in regional theater while trying to raise their radically different sons, Lester and Derrick. Through it all, Buddy pursues his unstoppable dreams, and Macy is left to pull it all together and keep the family afloat. As the family grapples with identity and belonging, they share a humorous and heartfelt journey of self-discovery, learning the power of owning your spotlight, no matter what stage of life you’re in. Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Aug. 21, 7 p.m.
"By turns heartfelt and, especially in the ghost tête-à-têtes, irksome, the movie is helped substantially by its cast, especially Cranston, who brings a welcome sincerity to a quixotic, potentially cloying character." -- Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
"Sorry, Baby" - (1 hour, 44 minutes) - Agnes, a literature professor at a small New England college, lives a quiet life with her cat—until a visit from her old friend Lydie stirs memories of their graduate school days. Back then, Agnes and her close-knit group of classmates studied under celebrated professor Preston Decker. When a private meeting with Decker turns into a traumatic assault, Agnes is left to navigate the aftermath in a community unable—or unwilling—to hold him accountable. As she struggles with isolation, conflicting emotions, and questions of justice, Agnes finds unexpected moments of connection—with her neighbor, with her students, and eventually with Lydie’s newborn daughter. A poignant exploration of trauma, friendship, and resilience, this is a story about finding one’s voice in the wake of harm—and the fragile hope that life, even in a broken world, can still hold light. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22; Saturday, Aug. 23; Monday, Aug. 25; Tuesday, Aug. 26, 7 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 28; at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27 (OCAP) and Sunday, Aug. 24.
"I was moved to tears by the bond between Agnes and Lydie, and how Victor and Ackie bring to life the cellular nourishment true friendship provides." - Kimberley Jones, Austin Chronicle
"Shoshana" - (2 hours, 1 minute) - In this edge-of-your-seat thriller inspired by real events, a British police officer and a Jewish woman fall in love amidst the political turmoil of 1930s Tel Aviv. With British control over Palestine precarious and conflict inevitable, everyone is forced to choose a side. From acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom ("The Trip," "A Mighty Heart"). Opening, Friday, Aug. 29, 7 p.m.
“It’s a sweeping period drama, partly fact-based, that is old-fashioned in the good sense: More interested in intrigue than action (though there’s both), immaculately produced and cast.” – Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills
