Now playing an additional week, Margaret is the sophomore effort of Kenneth Longeran (You Can Count On Me), it’s the story of a teenage girl (Anna Paquin) who witnesses, and perhaps causes, a tragedy and the complicated trapping that come with it.

However, the big addition to this group is Ralph Feinnes Shakespeare adaptation Coriolanus, starring Feinnes, Gerard Butler, Vanessa Redgrave and Jessica Chastain.
