Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd headline this laugh-out-loud comedy. They are an overextended couple in Manhattan who lose their jobs and thus their micro-loft apartment; their only choice is to relocate to Atlanta to live with his awful brother and family. En route, they stop at what they think is a B&B but actually is an alternative hippie commune populated by eccentric characters that have a different way of looking at things. Is this better than living with his obnoxious brother and alcoholic wife? Director David Wain (Role Models) keeps things light with a terrific supporting cast including Lauren Ambrose, Alan Alda, Linda Lavin and Justin Theroux.

A SEPARATION (PG-13) [in Farsi with subtitles] 123min
This complex, excellent story of ethics in modern day Iran recently won director Asghar Farhadi the Oscar for best Foreign Language film and a nomination for best original screenplay. A universal picture of a family conflict, Simin, a doctor, wants to emigrate to a western country with her husband Nader to provide a better life for their pre-teen daughter; after he agreed to get the visas, he changes his mind, so as not to leave behind his Alzheimer’s afflicted father. Simin is unable to take her daughter without her husband’s permission, so attempts a divorce, which isn’t granted, and she moves back in with her parents. When Nader hires a young devout woman to care for his father while he is at work, he hopes his world will return to normal.
PARIAH (R) 86min
This promising debut film from writer-director Dee Rees is an impressive, honest and optimistic feature length adaptation of her prize-winning short film with a fabulous performance from her star Adepero Oduye. She plays Alike, a middle-class teen from Brooklyn with a religious, conservative mom and a distant cop dad. She hasn’t come out yet, but is quietly and firmly embracing her identity as a lesbian. Her parents don’t like the influence of her life-long best friend, and her mom encourages her to socialize instead with a colleague’s daughter. Although not always successful, Alike strives to survive adolescence with grace and humor.
