‘The Delinquents’ Trailer: Fed-Up Argentine Bank Workers Plan To Steal Their Life Back In Acclaimed New Dramedy

“Three and a half years in jail or twenty-five (thousand) in the bank”?

In short, bank workers toiling away for pennies get fed up, know the system well, and think they can pull off a bank heist with minimal interruptions to their lives—some jail time— and meanwhile, they get rich.

‘Winter Boy’ Review: Christophe Honoré’s Latest With Juliette Binoche Is An Affecting & Occasionally Hackneyed Portrait Of Grief

A young boy comes of age after his father’s sudden death in Christophe Honoré’s “Winter Boy.” A bleak portrait of grief, the film may earn points for crafting an empathetic, subjective portrayal of one boy’s emotional spiral. Yet, the film also makes several odd formal and aesthetic choices that, ultimately, make Honoré’s film feel more hackneyed than resonant.
