Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass in THE ONE I LOVE.

THE ONE I LOVE (Charlie McDowell, USA) — Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss play a troubled couple who travel to an idyllic country house for the weekend, their therapist’s prescribed cure to mend their rocky relationship. Sure enough, almost immediately, they are more affectionate, flirty and fun than they’ve been in years–something must be wrong here! This fresh comedy pulls off a rare and remarkable achievement–reinventing and reinvigorating the romantic comedy as we know it. Tuesday, May 6, 9:15 PM @ Sundance Kabuki Cinemas.

A scene from I ORIGINS, the highly-anticipated follow-up from director Mike Cahill.

CALVARY (John Michael McDonagh, Ireland/UK) — A priest (Brendan Gleeson) continues to minister to his irreverent flock even after one of them anonymously promises to kill him in a week’s time, thrusting the clergyman into the role of a martyr in this pitch-black comedy, writer/director John Michael McDonagh and Gleeson’s second collaboration after THE GUARD (2011). Thursday, May 8, 6:00 PM @ Sundance Kabuki Cinemas.
