Memories of the Future 

Writer and producer of 'Remember Me: The Mahalia Jackson Story', Ericka Nicole Malone discusses her humble beginnings in the industry.

Written and directed by Eva Victor, who also plays Agnes, the main character, Sorry, Baby is slow and artsy, but extremely effective. It shows how the trauma developed after a sexual assault has a ripple effect and loudly echoes in the victim and her life for years after.

Wes Anderson offers a light-hearted comedy in the Middle East centering around Catholic motifs.

In 'Maestro,' we're left with an impression but not with an understanding of the main character.
