MISS YOU ALREADY
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke / USA / 112 mins
Milly and Jess have been best friends forever. They’ve shared everything since they were kids–secrets, clothes, laughs, substances, boyfriends. Now they are trying to be grown-ups. Milly has a high-flying job and lives in a beautiful townhouse with her husband and two kids. Jess is a town planner who lives with her boyfriend on a bohemian houseboat on a London canal. Their friendship remains as rock solid as ever, until Jess struggles to have a much longed-for baby and Milly finds out she has breast cancer. How do you share that?
THIRTEEN
Directed by Catherine Hardwicke / USA / 100 mins
At the edge of adolescence, Tracy (Evan Rachel Wood) is a promising student and the loving apple of her mother’s eye. But that was before she fell under the spell of Evie (Nikki Reed), the most popular and beautiful girl in school. Tracy aches to become Evie’s friend but fails the secret code of acceptance. Wrong socks, wrong look. As Tracy transforms to reach for a new life, her world becomes a boiling, emotional cauldron fueled by new tensions between her and her mother, teachers, and old friends. Each decision is radical, each choice is major, each crisis is huge, and it all makes Tracy squeal with horror and excitement. But that’s what it’s like to be 13!
