Room 237

“When Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining was released in 1980, it baffled many film buffs, who couldn’t figure out why the man who’d made some of the most challenging, brainy, and beautiful movies of the previous 20 years would spend his precious time and talent on what seemed at the time to be a hammy, heavy B-horror flick.

The Fruit Hunters

A Place at the Table

“A Place at the Table presents a shameful truth that should leave viewers dismayed and angry: The United States has more than enough food for all its people, yet millions of them are hungry. The film bolsters its case with plenty of facts, charts and expert testimony, but what makes the movie compelling is its focus on a handful of victims, who make the statistics painfully real.
