The Weekender: ‘Most’ Wanted

Movie of the Week

A Most Violent Year
Though it came up empty at the Oscars, JC Chandor’s third film might be his best yet, expanding his scope to 1981 New York and the dirt that gets on everyone hands even when trying to run a clean business. Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain are at the peak of their powers right now.

Blu-Ray Pick

My Winnipeg [The Criterion Collection]
