Drinking Buddies
Luke and Kate are co-workers at a Chicago brewery, where they spend their days drinking and flirting. They're perfect for each other, despite being in separate relationships with Luke almost married and Kate playing it cool with her music producer boyfriend. But you know what makes the line between "friends" and "more than friends" really blurry? Beer. From acclaimed indie director Joe Swanberg, “this brisk and exuberant comedy … is powered by a strong current of romantic melancholy” (The New Yorker).
USA, 2013, 90 min, rated 14A

20 Feet From Stardom
Millions know their voices, but no one knows their names. In this compelling documentary, director Morgan Neville shines a spotlight on the untold true story of the backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of the 21st century. Triumphant and heartbreaking in equal measure, the film is both a tribute to the unsung voices who brought shape and style to popular music. Along with rare archival footage and a peerless soundtrack, 20 Feet From Stardom boasts interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Sting and many others. Nominated for Best Documentary at the 2014 Academy Awards.
USA, 2013, 91 min, rated PG

What he finds out makes for shocking and suspenseful viewing, “which plays out like a classic conspiracy thriller as it follows a trail of clues to the heart of darkness” (Time Out). Nominated for Best Documentary at the 2014 Academy Awards.
