The historic biopic “Genius” is playing through Thursday, July 7, followed on Friday, July 8 by summer blockbuster “Finding Dory,” featuring a tiny fish, this week at The Harbor Theatre.
From Academy Award-nominated screenwriter John Logan (“Gladiator,” “The Aviator,” “Hugo,” “Skyfall”) and acclaimed Tony Award-winning director Michael Grandage in his feature film debut, comes “Genius,” a stirring drama about the complex friendship and transformative professional relationship between the world-renowned book editor Maxwell Perkins (who discovered F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway) and the larger-than-life literary giant Thomas Wolfe. Based on the biography “Max Perkins: Editor of Genius,” by A. Scott Berg, “Genius” stars Colin Firth as Perkins; Jude Law as Wolfe; Nicole Kidman as Aline Bernstein, a costume designer sharing a tumultuous relationship with Wolfe; Laura Linney as Louise Perkins, Max’s wife and a talented playwright; Guy Pearce as F. Scott Fitzgerald; and Dominic West as Ernest Hemingway.
“Genius,” rated PG13, plays at 7 p.m., Thursday, July 7.
A tiny fish stars in this summer’s biggest blockbuster from Walt Disney Studios, “Finding Dory.” Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) is a wide-eyed, blue tang fish who suffers from memory loss every 10 seconds or so. The one thing she can remember is that she somehow became separated from her parents as a child. With help from her friends Nemo and Marlin, Dory embarks on an epic adventure to find them. Her journey brings her to the Marine Life Institute, a conservatory that houses diverse ocean species. Dory now knows that her family reunion will only happen if she can save her mom and dad from captivity.
