Away From Her - ****
Julie Christie delivers an Oscar-worthy performance as an aging woman dealing with the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

Situated in a high-rise office building in Madrid, the film centers on seven job applicants vying for a plum position.

This documentary captures the 1996 Cuban attack on three private planes flown by Brothers to the Rescue.

Enjoyable film centered on a small-town waitress looking to escape.
