Throw Domino into that mix.

If I remember correctly, Domino used to have a different one when I first started lurking on the forum; I think it's been almost five years or something with the current one, and if all three of you changed in the same 4-6 week span, I'd have to go lie down somewhere.

I'm really looking forward to Beyond the Hills. Graduation is terrific; I was lucky to see it at AFI Fest in 2016.

It surprises me these two are being released before 4/3/2.

Beaver on Graduation. It does look a little teal, but I think that's intended.

Yeah, the DCP looked rather chilly.

I quite liked Graduation. Without giving too much away, it deals with a former expat who returned with his wife after 1991 with intentions of helping change things. Now in late middle-age, he's stuck trying to get his daughter a scholarship to study in the UK, which may entail capitulating to the inherent cronyism of the very system he had hoped to change and which he wants his daughter to escape. What I liked about it is that there are no genuinely despicable characters, and in some way the locals who've shrugged their shoulders and capitulated are less naive than the protagonist, despite the latter's relatively advanced age.
