“Lee” - (R; 1 hour, 57 minutes) - The directorial feature from award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub. Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood. Based on Antony Penrose’s biography of his mother, “The Lives of Lee Miller,” “Lee” is a biopic of an artist whose true importance, unfortunately, became apparent only many years after her death. Final shows: Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2 p.m. (OCAP) and Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.

“A resoundingly compelling docudrama of a photographer who captured some of the most impactful and harrowing images of the worst war on record, and there is no actor better suited to recapture her presence than Kate Winslet.” - Aaron Peterson, The Hollywood Outsider

“Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers” – Exhibition On Screen – (90 minutes) - 200 years after its opening and a century after acquiring its first Van Gogh works, the National Gallery, London is hosting the UK’s biggest ever Van Gogh exhibition. Van Gogh is not only one of the most beloved artists of all time, but perhaps the most misunderstood. This film is a chance to reexamine and better understand this iconic artist. Focusing on his unique creative process, “Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers” explores the artist’s years in the south of France, where he revolutionized his style. Van Gogh became consumed with a passion for storytelling in his art, turning the world around him into vibrant, idealized spaces and symbolic characters. Poets and lovers filled his imagination; everything he did in the south of France served this new obsession. In part, this is what caused his notorious breakdown, but it didn’t hold back his creativity as he created masterpiece after masterpiece. Explore one of art history’s most pivotal periods in this once-in-a-century show. Directed by David Bickerstaff and produced by Phil Grabsky. Two shows only at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23.

“White Bird: A Wonder Story” - (121 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2024) - Opens Friday, Nov. 22. From the best-selling author of “Wonder,” the book that sparked a movement to “choose kind” comes the inspirational next chapter. In “White Bird: A Wonder Story,” we follow Julian (Bryce Gheisar), who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother (Helen Mirren) finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother (Gillian Anderson) risks everything to keep her safe. From director Marc Forster (“Finding Neverland” and “Christopher Robin”), screenwriter Mark Bomback, and based on R.J. Palacio’s book, “White Bird: A Wonder Story,” like Wonder before it, is an uplifting movie about how one act of kindness can live on forever.

“The images in the film are gorgeous and indelible, and the emotions run surprisingly deep.” - Michael Medved, The Michael Medved Show
