Some loves transcend time. For Clare (Rachel McAdams) and Henry (Eric Bana), that is all their love has ever known. The two star in this film based on the best selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger, about a man whose condition allows him to travel through time and the woman who loves him even when he’s gone. Clare is with Henry as he tries to understand his condition and determine whether or not he can control it and stays with him as their love grows beyond time and complication.
Rated PG-13
In Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest film, Michael Stuhlbarg is Larry Gropnik. Larry is a husband, a father and a physics professor on the campus of a quiet university. As his life seems to be a picture of balance in the midst of the ever changing 1960s, that picture begins to fade. Larry’s wife has fallen in love with someone who couldn’t be more different from himself, his brother has moved in, making his couch his home, his children are developing their own problems and he’s been targeted by someone to lose his tenure. As the ground begins to crumble beneath him, Larry searches for a way to remain a righteous man in a brutal and unyielding world.
