A boy who’d rather dance than box, in a world where that’s not accepted. Billy Elliot is a heartwarming coming-of-age story about chasing dreams, finding courage, and defying expectations. Follow an eleven-year-old as he navigates boxing gloves, ballet shoes, and the backdrop of a miners’ strike.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but not for this Romanian family.

In stand-up, you never respond with “no,” it’s always “yes, but,” explains Cliff, a former comedian and former alcoholic (the two are connected), to Didi, an emergency dentist helping him with a temporary tooth on Christmas Eve. That “yes, but” becomes a kind of refrain between them, both funny and unexpectedly profound, as they spend a long Christmas night walking and driving through Baltimore. A quietly moving solo directorial debut by Jay Duplass, one half of the Duplass Brothers.
