This week at the Lincoln Theater
It takes a truly remarkable film to be considered a “triple threat” come Oscar season, and that’s just what we have this Friday with “FLEE” coming to the Lincoln Theater big screen. This unique film is a foreign animated documentary being described by critics as “unforgettable” and could be the first film ever nominated for an Academy Award in all three feature film categories.
