Beijing Flickers
A "gritty, droll, and angst-ridden portrait of youthful disaffection and perseverance." Narrated by According to Jim's Jim Belushi! Whitsell Auditorium.

recommended Body Double
Brian De Palma's 1984 riff on Hitchcock is lurid, sleazy, over-the-top, and pretty great. Sad-sack Craig Wasson (who?) peeps on a neighbor's nightly naked-dance, becoming obsessed with her in the process; along the way, he witnesses a murder and gets drawn into the world of porn. Fun! As a sexy suspense thriller, Body Double works fine. As a sly comedy about obsession, it's even better. Part of the Hollywood's "Deja Vertigo" Brian De Palma series, which goes through July. NED LANNAMANN Hollywood Theatre.

An Evening with the Whiteman Brothers

recommended Frances Ha
Whichever way you turn the movie, it catches some light: This way, the plight of millennials; that way, the stylistic nods to French New Wave. There's a whole trend piece to be written about the young female writers (star Greta Gerwig co-wrote the script) who are changing the way women are depicted in popular entertainment, and then there's parsing how this generous, optimistic film fits into the context of writer/director Noah Baumbach's previous work. What a tremendous relief it is to find a movie that acknowledges that women are interesting—that a woman can be the protagonist in a story that doesn't end in romance or a makeover, and that all the vitality and confusion and excitement of being young can be refracted just as well through a woman as a man. ALISON HALLETT Kiggins Theatre, Laurelhurst Theater, Liberty Theatre, Living Room Theaters.

More Than Honey

recommended Much Ado About Nothing
Much Ado is a snappy, clever play, and quipmaster Whedon is the perfect director to take on the courtship of sharp-tongued Beatrice and equally acerbic Benedick. Whedon's contemporized Much Ado is full of sexual tension, misunderstandings, and only-in-Shakespeare scheming—the verbal sparring that Shakespeare thought of as "foreplay" hasn't been this much fun since Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger (RIP) went at it in 10 Things I Hate About You. The whole thing is high-spirited, silly, and supremely easy to watch. ALISON HALLETT Bridgeport Village Stadium 18, Cinema 21.

recommended Stories We Tell
With Stories We Tell, Sarah Polley takes on the art of documentary—and not only makes something human and impactful, but folds the genre in on itself. Ostensibly, Stories is a study of Polley's family, centered on her mother Diane, who died of cancer when Polley was 11. With almost cold calculation, Polley puts virtually everyone in her family—siblings, father, aunts, family friends—into the hot seat and tasks them with telling "the whole story": what Diane was like, what her relationship with her father was like, and far into the plot-thickening beyond. MARJORIE SKINNER Laurelhurst Theater.
