Synopsis

Touch Me Not centers on a filmmaker and characters she documents who together venture into a deep, personal soul-searching into how to achieve real human intimacy. On the fluid border between reality and fiction, the film follows the emotional and sexual journeys of various, diverse subjects offering deeply empathic insights into their personal lives. Craving intimacy—yet also deeply afraid of it—they each work to overcome old patterns, defense mechanisms and taboos…to cut the cords of inhibition and finally be set free.

Limited and VOD Releases: Growing Old waiting for Prime Limited Releases

January 11th, 2019

They Shall Not Grow Old

It is going to be a while before it is a good time for limited releases. We at least need this year’s Oscar contenders to no longer dominate theaters before high-quality limited releases can thrive. The biggest “new” release of the week is They Shall Not Grow Old, which broke records at the end of last year during special engagements. Now it looks to thrive in regular limited release. I think it will. There are a few others that could do well in VOD, but that’s as good as it gets for most films on this week’s list. More...
