A Most Violent Year
One of the more under-the-radar titles releasing this year is A Most Violent Year. The upcoming crime-drama was one of the standout premieres at the AFI Fest last November and quickly garnered a theatrical release. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, and Albert Brooks among others – the film is set during the winter of 1981 in NYC, giving insight into one of the most violent years of city’s history.
An immigrant soon fights to protect his business and family during the time, which is threatened by the rampant violence and decay of the city. Whether you’re caught up with new release this holiday season or not, A Most Violent Year is a must-watch film this weekend.
