“Sorry Baby” - (R; 1 hour, 44 minutes) - Agnes, a literature professor at a small New England college, lives a quiet life with her cat—until a visit from her old friend Lydie stirs memories of their graduate school days. Back then, Agnes and her close-knit group of classmates studied under celebrated professor Preston Decker. When a private meeting with Decker turns into a traumatic assault, Agnes is left to navigate the aftermath in a community unable—or unwilling—to hold him accountable. As she struggles with isolation, conflicting emotions, and questions of justice, Agnes finds unexpected moments of connection—with her neighbor, with her students, and eventually with Lydie’s newborn daughter. Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Aug. 28, 7 p.m.

“Shoshanna” - (2 hours, 1 minute) - From acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom comes Shoshana, a gripping historical thriller that blends forbidden romance with the political turmoil of the Middle East in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Set in British Mandatory Palestine, the film tells the true story of Shoshana Borochov (Irina Starshenbaum), the idealistic daughter of a Zionist labor movement co-founder, who falls in love with Tom Wilkin (Douglas Booth), a British police officer charged with maintaining order in an increasingly volatile Tel Aviv. Their relationship is tested as Tom and his colleague Geoffrey Morton (Harry Melling) hunt down Zionist militant Avraham Stern (Aury Alby), igniting a conflict that divides allegiances and shatters trust. Against the backdrop of mounting resistance movements, the rise of extremist factions, and the chaos of World War II, Shoshana weaves together a sweeping love story and a political thriller.

The film explores not only the dangers of rebellion and the brutality of colonial rule but also the personal cost of devotion—to ideals, to a cause, and to one another. Anchored by powerful performances and enhanced with authentic documentary footage, Shoshana immerses audiences in a world where passion collides with politics, and where choices made in love can reverberate through history. Playing at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29; Saturday, Aug. 30; Monday, Sept. 1; Tuesday, Sept. 2 and Thursday, Sept. 4; also at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31 and Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2 p.m. (OCAP).

“Impressively, director Winterbottom understands the history of this land volatility and is able symbolically to express it through star-crossed lovers. Irina Starshenbaum as Soshana deftly creates a character whose loyalties and legacy are tested. Shalom.” – Patrick McDonald, HollywoodChicago.com
