“Living” - (PG-13; 1 hour, 42 minutes) - Nominated for two Academy Awards: Best Actor (Bill Nighy) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Kasuo Ishiguro). Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy) is an ordinary man who has worked in an office pushing papers for years, never really getting anything done. When he gets terrible news that he has a terminal illness, he realizes that the dreams of his youth have come to nothing. He tries to tell his son and daughter-in-law about his diagnosis, but doesn't find the opportunity, which makes him feel even more alone. Final screenings 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 22 and Thursday, Feb. 23.

“A little movie about big topics, Living takes on nothing less than life itself and features a quiet, note-perfect performance from Bill Nighy.” —Adam Graham, Detroit News

“The Whale” - (R; 1 hour, 57 minutes) - Nominated for three Academy Awards: Actor in a Leading Role (Brendan Fraser), Actress in a Supporting Role (Hong Chau), and Best Achievement in Makeup & Hairstyling. A reclusive English teacher, suffering from severe obesity, attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption. Human agony of both the physical and emotional kind is a Darren Aronofsky staple, but “The Whale,” which is driven by shattering work from Brendan Fraser as a 600-pound teacher eating himself to death, pushes that theme to extremes while remaining steadfastly within the borders of naturalism. Adapted by Samuel D. Hunter from his play. This intense chamber drama never disguises its stage roots, but transcends them with the grace and compassion of the writing, the layers of pain and despair, love and dogged hope, peeled back in the central performance. Plays at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24; Saturday, Feb. 25; Wednesday, March 1; Thursday, March 2; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26. 

"Fraser delivers the best work of his career." —Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
