Alex of Venice
One of the more overlooked films releasing this year and maybe the entire year is Alex of Venice. The Chris Messina-directed project starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Don Johnson, Derek Luke, Julianna Guill, Katie Nehra, Chris Messina, and Skylar Gaertner has been in our must see films list since its Tribeca Film Festival premiere exactly a year ago. The new drama centers on a workaholic lawyer and mother, who is forced to reinvent her life after her stay-at-home husband suddenly, leaves. Not up to task of taking care of their young son on the solo side of things and an ailing father present, Alex is forced to run an entire household all by herself. While the synopsis may seem a bit grey, this our absolute pick for much-watch film this weekend if you’ve already seen Furious 7.
