Eating Animals (12A)
Eating Animals is the feature-length documentary adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's critically acclaimed book of the same name. The film reveals through intimate narratives what has happened to our country in the past 40 years as we have moved away from traditional farming communities to massive industrial farming complexes that produce a seemingly endless supply of so-called "cheap" meat, eggs, and dairy. What starts out as a simple question - where does our meat come from? - quickly takes us down the rabbit hole of today's industrial animal agriculture and becomes an exploration of the ultimate stakes of eating animals, the destruction of farming, and the complete unwinding of the American mythos.

Wild Honey Pie! (15)
English Gillian and her Welsh husband Oliver are, if not newlyweds, then at least not-long-weds in their early 30s who haven't quite launched themselves out of the nest. Living in a house on the coast not far from Cardiff that's owned by Ollie's mother, Janet and seemingly decorated to appeal to impecunious AirBnB clients, they're just about getting by. Oliver earns a pittance as a DJ once a week and spins discs at the occasional wedding. Gillian, meanwhile, is directing a production she wrote herself about a young married couple struggling to understand themselves. In any event, even though Gillian and Oliver are clearly best friends who share the same sense of absurdist humor and are well matched intellectually, their sex life is a bit vanilla for Gillian's taste. On one less than plausible evening, she gets bi-curious with prospective producer Gerry, a lesbian while Oliver has a snog with old flame Rachel, exactly the kind of more conventional but still likable young woman he probably would have married had he not met Gillian. The parallel infidelities are semi-confessed the next day (Gillian doesn't cop to everything), and the young marrieds try to mend things. But then practically minutes later, Gillian's committing adultery again, this time with plebian Matt, one of Oliver's best friends, who has just declared love via some astonishingly dreadful verse.
