Captain Fantastic
Directed By: Matt Ross

I'll admit it. I've been quiet on the indie front this summer. With the exception of A Bigger Splash —which I just so happen to be overdue on reviewing— and perhaps The Lobster (if it can be loved), I haven't fallen in love with too many movies.

Directed By: Jake Schreier
Starring: Frank Langella, Peter Sarsgaard, James Marsden, Liv Tyler, and Susan Sarandon
Indie cinema is all about the future this weekend.
