Take notes.
The Details
We’ve been waiting since Sundance 2011 for this naughty nutcase comedy to release. You must hunt it down. Tobey Maguire plays a bumbling married lothario driven to scandal by mischievous raccoons and a crazy cat lady (genius Laura Linney). Just check out this director’s-cut trailer to see what we mean.
It’s like: Election meets Very Bad Things.
Take: The devil (on your shoulder).
Premieres: Today (on demand now)
Anna Karenina
Our first encounter with the Russian doll was when Lisa Turtle was trying to impress a bookworm at Bayside. Our most recent? Joe Wright’s theater-meets-film-meets-dance production. Like a dollhouse that reads Don’t Touch, the set creaks and moves as its players, namely Keira Knightley and Aaron Johnson, glide and waltz through chapters of steamy sexual tension.
It’s like: Watching the novel unfold to an eight count.
Take: A partner.
Premieres: November 16
Silver Linings Playbook
How-you-like-him-now David O. Russell’s got a solid gold winner with a flashy roster — Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, and (what what) Chris Tucker. Scoring TIFF’s Audience Award, the rom com about football, loony tunes, and the love of both has the comfort of Jerry Maguire, the seriousness of lithium, and a secret play that could. go. all. the. way.
It’s like: Flirting with Disaster while Dancing with the Stars.
Take: The Eagles. And the spread.
Premieres: November 21
