“‘The Current War’ is even better than it has to be. Director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung give the film a swooping elegance, so that shots that start as close-ups gracefully glide into medium shots, and medium shots give way to vistas. The camera is always moving in a way that suggests grace and flow.” – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“With this ‘Director’s Cut,’ Gomez-Rejon and his editors have saved a witty, well-acted and gorgeous-looking movie and given it the heart, history and intellectual heft it needed to come off.” – Roger Moore, Movie Nation

“‘The Current War’ is a remarkable period piece, one that evokes the transition from the era of soot and gaslights to the electrical age.” – Richard Whittaker, The Austin Chronicle

Academy Award Winner for Best Foreign-Language Film. The beautiful but pious sisters Martine and Philippa grow to spinsterhood under the wrathful eye of their strict pastor father on the forbidding and desolate coast of Jutland, until one day, Philippa’s former suitor sends a Parisian refugee named Babette to serve as the family cook. Babette’s lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family’s dwindling congregation, who abjure such fleshly pleasures as fine foods and wines. A perennial Naro favorite. (1987, G, 103 mins)

“‘The Irishman’ is so full of Scorsese’s most beloved rep players and tropes that it’s difficult not to compare it to such predecessors as ‘Mean Streets,’ ‘Raging Bull’ and especially ‘Goodfellas.'” – Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

“De Niro is equally dialled down, a man at the centre of the action but always removed from it. It’s his best work in years.” – Ian Freer, Empire
