Feature: 97 minutes
Set in 1943, Frontier tells the true story of a Spanish customs officer who quietly helps Jewish refugees escape Nazi-occupied France — one life at a time. As his solitary acts of defiance grow into an underground rescue effort, he and his wife are forced to confront the lingering trauma of the Spanish Civil War and the very real danger posed by Nazi patrols along the border. Every choice carries risk, and silence itself becomes a moral decision. Tense, humane, and deeply moving, Frontier honors the courage of ordinary people who, in a moment of history’s greatest darkness, chose to act — knowing the cost, and acting anyway.

Feature: 120 minutes
Brutal, intimate, and unflinching, Vindicta plunges audiences into the raw aftermath of unimaginable loss. After witnessing the murder of her parents, a young Jewish woman is forced into hiding — and into a life defined by rage. What begins as survival hardens into a relentless pursuit of vengeance, as she uses intimacy and deception to hunt those responsible for the destruction of her family. Each encounter blurs the line between power and peril, justice and obsession. Inspired by true accounts of women who resisted the Nazi regime, Vindicta is a tense and morally unsettling portrait of trauma, desire, and fury — asking whether revenge can ever heal what hatred has already destroyed.

Silvio Soldini
Feature: 118 minutes
Inspired by a shocking true story, The Tasters is a chilling portrait of survival inside Hitler’s inner circle. In the autumn of 1943, Rosa, a young woman fleeing bombed Berlin, is forced into a terrifying role: along with other women from a remote village near the Wolf’s Lair, she must taste the Führer’s meals each day — never knowing if the food is poisoned. Caught between starvation and the constant threat of death, the women form fragile bonds marked by fear, rivalry, and desperate loyalty. Claustrophobic and quietly devastating, The Tasters exposes the psychological toll of living under absolute terror, where survival demands silence, complicity, and unbearable choices — and where even the most private emotions become acts of risk.

Jacques Otmezguine
Feature: 102 minutes
“During the war, music becomes the last hope.” Set in occupied France, The Pianist’s Choice is a haunting wartime romance where art becomes both refuge and reckoning. François Touraine is a gifted young pianist whose life is forever changed by his relationship with Rachel, his older Jewish piano teacher. When the Nazis take control of Paris, love and music collide with terror, forcing François into an impossible moral dilemma: whether to use his talent to perform for the occupiers in a desperate attempt to save the woman he loves. Tender, tragic, and deeply resonant, The Pianist’s Choice explores the cost of survival when art is entangled with power — and asks what remains of music, love, and conscience after the war has passed.

What begins as a simple, almost casual discovery quickly becomes something far more profound. In this acclaimed Israeli drama (with humor!), a single object—a ring—unlocks a buried family story, forcing its present-day owner to confront questions of memory, inheritance, and moral responsibility. Starring beloved Israeli actor Adir Miller, The Ring moves fluidly between past and present, exploring how the legacy of the Holocaust continues to shape lives generations later. As long-held truths surface, the film asks what we owe to the past—and to each other—when history suddenly becomes personal. By turns poignant, surprising, and deeply human, The Ring is a powerful reminder that history is never truly behind us. It lives in the objects we keep, the stories we tell, and the choices we make when we finally dare to look back.

After an unforgettable appearance at our 2025 Jewish Book Festival & Speaker Series, Joshua Malina returns to St. Louis—this time on the big screen. In the charming coming-of-age comedy Ethan Bloom, Malina plays a well-meaning but increasingly bewildered father whose teenage son is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah…while secretly taking confirmation classes at the local Catholic church. What follows is a heartfelt and hilarious collision of faith, family expectations, and adolescent identity. Filled with teenage angst, puppy love, and genuine warmth, Ethan Bloom is a joyful reminder that growing up—and finding yourself—is rarely a straight line.

Based on the beloved memoir by Roland Perez, Once Upon My Mother is a joyful, life-affirming true story about determination, resilience, and unconditional love. The film begins in 1963, when Esther gives birth to Roland, the youngest of a large family, born with a clubfoot that doctors insist will prevent him from ever walking normally. Refusing to accept that fate, Esther makes her son a promise — that he will walk, thrive, and live an extraordinary life — and then sets out to make it come true. Spanning decades and filled with humor, heart, and hard-won miracles, Once Upon My Mother is a moving celebration of a mother’s unwavering belief in her child — and the extraordinary power of love to shape a life.

When Reuben, an 80-year-old actuary who believes life can be neatly measured and managed, suddenly loses both his wife and her insurance money at the local swimming pool, his carefully ordered world is thrown into chaos. Reluctantly teaming up with his free-spirited granddaughter, Reuben launches a clumsy investigation that turns every eccentric pool regular into a prime suspect. What begins as a comic whodunit slowly becomes something deeper, as suspicion gives way to connection and shared grief opens the door to an unexpected bond. Warm, witty, and quietly touching, Love, Statistically Speaking reminds us that while numbers can explain a lot, the most important things — love, family, and second chances — will always defy calculation.

The perfect festival farewell, Eleanor the Great marks Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut and showcases a magnificent performance by June Squibb as a woman discovering that it’s never too late to begin again. After a devastating loss, Eleanor Morgenstein, 94, leaves Florida for New York City, where a chance friendship with a young student pulls her back into the world — and into a story she tells that begins to take on a life of its own. As humor and grief intertwine, Eleanor is forced to confront memory, truth, and the complicated ways we carry the past. Wry, tender, and laugh-out-loud funny, Eleanor the Great is a deeply human film about friendship, aging, and survival — one that leaves you smiling, misty-eyed, and wonderfully unsure whether your tears come from laughter or recognition.

More than 70 years later, the couple’s great-grandchildren find themselves facing the same question as their ancestors: “Are we safe?” Following five generations of a French-Jewish family, Prayer for the French Republic is a sweeping look at history, home and the effects of an ancient hatred.
