The East – this probably has one of the most aggravating websites (you are asked a series of baffling questions that lead frustratingly to a trailer and no text information).

Stand Up Guys – what looks like a dream cast (Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, Alan Arkin and Julianna Margulies) team up in this Goodfellas on Zimmer Frames thriller about old time gangsters out for one last big night…except one of them is harbouring a dangerous secret.

Stories We Tell – Canadian actor-turned director Sarah Polley is an interesting talent to keep an eye on, as she develops behind the camera.

Showing at the Curzon (London) only; the official site is here.
