Pick of the Week
Set in the 1930s, writer/director Woody Allen's bittersweet romance follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the vibrant world of high society nightclub life. Bobby's colorful Bronx family features his relentlessly bickering parents Rose (Jeannie Berlin) and Marty (Ken Stott); his casually amoral gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll); his good-hearted teacher sister Evelyn (Sari Lennick); and his egghead brother-in-law Leonard (Stephen Kunken). Seeking more out of life, Bobby flees his father's jewelry store for Hollywood, where he works for his high-powered agent uncle Phil (Steve Carell), and soon falls for Phil's charming assistant Vonnie (Kristen Stewart). When he asks her to marry him and move to New York, she is tempted, but things do not go as smoothly as planned. With Café Society-a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age-Allen conjures up a 1930s world that has passed to tell a deeply romantic tale of dreams that never die.

Two-time Academy Award-winner Barbara Kopple (Harlan County U.S.A., Shut Up & Sing, Wild Man Blues) follows Grammy-nominated R&B dynamo Sharon Jones during the most courageous year of her life. Often compared to the legendary James Brown because of her electrifying energetic performances, Sharon Jones is no stranger to challenge. For years her music career struggled as she was kept in the wings by a music industry that branded her "too short, too black, too fat." After decades of working odd jobs, from a corrections officer to a wedding singer, Sharon had a mid-life breakthrough after joining forces with Brooklyn R&B outfit The Dap Kings. In 2013, on the eve of the release of the much-anticipated album Give the People What They Want, Sharon was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
