Starz Denver Film Festival November 3rd - November 14th
We only saw three films at this year's Festival but they were three very good films! Please look for each of these to open in wide release next month.
I Love You Phillip Morris (R) 102 minutes A-
Love Crimes
Starring Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor and Leslie Mann
Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay! The best performance of Jim Carrey's career!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helena from the Wedding (?) 89 minutes A
Lovely & Amazing
Starring Lee Tergesen, Melanie Lynskey, Gillian Jacobs, Dagmara Dominczyk, Paul Fitzgerald, Dominic Fumusa, Jessica Hecht and Corey Stoll
It's not for everyone but I completely adore this film, it's a wonderful example of why I love low-budget indie films. Among all the quiet despair, longing and anxiety lies one of the most beautiful and true odes to coupling I've seen this year.

Made in Dagenham (R) 113 minutes B
Hey Ladies
Starring Sally Hawkins, Jaime Winstone, Nicola Duffett, Andrea Riseborough, Lorraine Stanley, Geraldine James, Rosamund Pike, Bob Hoskins, Rupert Graves and Miranda Richardson
Women fighting for equality at a Ford Dagenham assembly plant (Ford of Britain subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company) in 1968 and looking very stylish in the process. This is the performance that should earn award-winning actress Sally Hawkins an Oscar nod. As well as her co-star and two time Oscar nominee Miranda Richardson. The film is a little predictable but one that will make you stand up and applaud afterwards.

I wanted to see this at CIFF this year, but didn't make it to any of the screenings. Glad to hear it's worth something, though.
