The new drama, Stillwater, from Focus Features, is one of those seemingly off-putting films that initially feels as though it hasn’t got anything substantial to say, but there is something at work just beneath the surface of the film that lingers long after the last reel has run. This is a film that, if allowed to simmer, eventually rewards you with not only a fine performance from an excellent actor, but a thinking piece on the harm that the lack of communication can cause any two people in any given relationship or situation.
The film tells the saga of Bill (Matt Damon), an Oklahoma oil-rig worker travelling to Mareseille, France to visit his estranged daughter, Allison (Abigail Breslin), who is serving time in prison for a crime she claims not to have committed. Wanting desperately to gain his daughter’s trust and prove his worth to her, Bill relays...

The story of “The White Crow,” Ralph Fiennes’ latest directorial effort, is as topical as anything currently sitting on the desk of a studio head. It tells of a rebellious artist grappling with his sexuality during turbulent political times rife with tensions between the United States and an agitated Russia. But though the upcoming film, which Sony Pictures Classics will release Stateside on April 26, may be weirdly timely, it is actually set nearly 60 years ago and depicts the true tale of late ballet sensation Rudolf Nureyev.
Known for performances that were sinewy and sensual, Nureyev inflamed Cold War tensions when he became one of the first megastars to defect from the Soviet Union in 1961. Once in the United States, the ballet and contemporary dancer and choreographer became a household name, partnering with Margot Fonteyn in acclaimed productions of “Giselle” and “Swan Lake,” appearing on “The Muppet Show” and playing Rudolph Valentino...
