Our critics selected their favorite films this week, from wide releases to one-time showings, and we have the details on when and where to see all of them, from 45 Years to a documentary made from a book that was “indispensable” in Charles Mudede’s film education to the continuing run of The Big Short. For even more movie times (The Finest Hours or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, perhaps?), check out our complete movie times listings.

NEW RELEASES
1. 45 Years
“45 Years has little to do with class, but Haigh is a savvy filmmaker, and glimmers of his actors’ past shine through their perfectly aligned performances. With a few strokes, he depicts a comfortable country marriage between retired professionals that develops fault lines when a revelation about Geoff’s past comes to light.” – Kathy Fennessy
LIMITED RUNS
2. Anomalisa
“One part of Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa is really great, and the other part is really predictable. The greatness has everything to do with its look (animated puppets and their world), and the not-so-greatness with its story. The good news is that the latter does not get in the way of the former.” – Charles Mudede
