So that’s how it is in their family.
Dirty Girl
The ’80s never gets old, especially when served with crude laughs and a gnarly sound track. For a school project, vixen Danielle (a foulmouthed floozy with daddy issues) gets paired with gay Clarke (an outcast who’s never puckered up) to parent a Pampered five-pound bag of flour named Joan Crawford. They saddle up with Joan for a cross-country mission to spruce up Danielle’s family tree.
It’s like: The Brady Bunch Movie getting an Easy A.
Take: Sweet tarts.
Premieres: Today
Martha Marcy May Marlene
Newbie director Sean Durkin gave Sundance-goers the willies with his haunting debut starring the other sister, Elizabeth Olsen. Taking home the festival’s Best Director title, his portrayal of a girl who escapes a cult but is never really free borrows from real-life events and reinvents the horror genre. And it’s time we were under John Hawkes’s spell again.
It’s like: Winter’s Bone meets Helter Skelter.
Take: Your followers.
Premieres: October 21

Like Crazy
There’s no shame in sobbing like a pubescent teenager during Drake Doremus’s Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner. Cuckoo for each other, American Jacob and British Anna get split up after she overstays her visa’s welcome. Ripped from the pages of the director’s own story, this lovers’ tale is driven by Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, a pair whose insane chemistry sparked when Doremus dropped the script and just let the camera roll.
It’s: A Lot like Love.
Wear: Waterproof mascara.
Premieres: October 28
Restock the tissues and let’s move on. There’s so much more to see.
