The air conditioning is up and running. Join us to cool off while enjoying some steamy performances.
‘Tully’ (R; 1 hour, 35 minutes)
From Academy Award-nominated director Jason Reitman (“Up in the Air”) and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (“Juno”) comes “Tully,” a new comedy. Marlo (played by Academy Award winner Charlize Theron), a mother of three including a newborn, is gifted a night nanny by her brother (Mark Duplass). Hesitant to the extravagance at first, Marlo comes to form a unique bond with the thoughtful, surprising, and sometimes challenging young nanny named Tully (Mackenzie Davis). “Tully” delves into the modern parenthood experience with an admirably deft blend of humor and raw honesty, brought to life by an outstanding performance by Charlize Theron. Final screenings are Thursday, June 21 at 2 and 7 p.m.
‘Disobedience’ (R; 1 hour, 54 minutes)
From Sebastian Lelio, the director of the Academy Award-winning “A Fantastic Woman,” the film follows a woman as she returns to the community that shunned her decades earlier for an attraction to a childhood friend. Once back, their passions reignite as they explore the boundaries of faith and sexuality. Written by Lelio and Rebecca Lenkiewicz and based on Naomi Alderman’s book, the film stars Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, and Alessandro Nivola. Plays Friday, June 22 at 2 and 7 p.m.; Saturday, June 23 at 2 and 7 p.m.; Sunday, June 24 at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Wednesday, June 27 at 2 and 7 p.m.
