“Are you being real right now?” In 2023, Elizabeth Holmes was convicted of fraud and weeks away from beginning an 11-year prison sentence. Hoping to make the case for her innocence, she and her husband, Billy Evans, invited a film crew into their home to document their family life. They chose Nathan Fielder, a comedian best known for elaborate business schemes, and Lance Oppenheim, a filmmaker whose tight frames and slow, searching zooms find the uncanny in the everyday.

As Fielder himself points out to Holmes, it is an unusual choice of documentarians for someone hoping to clear her name.

What follows is a three-year study in trust, performance, and the question of who is playing whom. Early reviews have praised the film as even more surprising and revealing than its considerable hype promised. We’ll say no more. This is one to see knowing as little as possible.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING
Co-directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim
Opens Friday, October 16. Tickets on sale now, link in bio.

“The Social Reckoning“ opens Friday, October 9 at Sag Harbor Cinema

“The Social Network” ended with a young Mark Zuckerberg alone at his laptop, refreshing a page that wouldn’t answer back. Sixteen years later, Aaron Sorkin returns to that world, this time as both writer and director, and turns his attention from how Facebook began to what it has done to us since.

Set in and around 2021, the film follows Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), an engineer on Facebook’s civic integrity team in Menlo Park who goes from true believer to whistleblower. Her path leads to Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), the Wall Street Journal reporter whose investigative series revealed that the company knew the harm its platforms were causing and chose profit over safety. Jeremy Strong plays a fictional Mark who looms over it all.

A David and Goliath story for our moment, about how social media rewired our minds, our children, and our democracy.

Since May, the shadows at Sag Harbor Cinema have lingered, stretched, and shifted. Our Summer Noir retrospective traced film noir from its shadow-drenched midcentury origins to the sharper, unpredictable turns of its modern descendants, capturing five months of dedicated cinephiles in the dark.

As autumn settles in, the series draws to a close with two final, brilliant iterations of the form:

TONIGHT at 8:30 PM
“Bob le flambeur” (Dir. Jean-Pierre Melville, 1956)
A stylish bridge between classic American gangster cinema and the birth of the French New Wave. Melville introduces us to an aging gambler eyeing one final score at the Deauville casino, delivering an underworld comedy of manners rich in Gallic sophistication, wry humor, and formal elegance.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 at 8:30 PM
“Something Wild” (Dir. Jonathan Demme, 1986)
Demme’s radiant, unpredictable masterpiece transforms a screwball road trip into a kinky comic thriller. Melanie Griffith reinvents the femme fatale alongside Jeff Daniels and a fiery, breakthrough performance by Ray Liotta. As Demme noted, it is a screwball comedy that turns into film noir, as life itself so often does.

Join us for these final dual portraits of allure and consequence.

Opens Today | Tickets on sale 🎟️

The most powerful man on the planet has one shot to convince the world he’s its savior, and he’s running out of time before the catastrophe he caused takes everything down with him.

Tom Cruise disappears into the role of Digger Rockwell, a Texas oil baron with a family shovel, a fragile old cat, and a whole lot of explaining to do. Two-time Oscar winner Iñárritu (“Birdman,” “The Revenant”) reunites with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki for a pitch-black climate satire with shades of “Dr. Strangelove.” It’s big, strange, and unlike anything Cruise has done in years. Come see it on the big screen and decide for yourself.

DIGGER
Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu (2026)

Starring Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Emma D’Arcy, and Robert John Burke.

NOW PLAYING · ONE WEEK ONLY | Charles Burnett’s MY BROTHER’S WEDDING (1983), in a stunning new 4K restoration supervised by Burnett himself.

South Central LA, the early 1989s. Pierce Mundy spends his days at his parents’ South Central dry cleaners, caught between two worlds: his ambitious lawyer brother, about to marry into the Black upper-middle class, and his best friend Soldier, just out of prison. When a wedding and a funeral land on the same day, Pierce tries to be in two places at once, and ends up nowhere.

Following his landmark debut “Killer of Sheep,” Burnett made this tragicomic portrait of family, loyalty, and neighborhood life, funny and heartbreaking in equal measure. After sold-out screenings across the country, it arrives at Sag Harbor Cinema for a limited run.

“If a better film has been made about black life, I haven’t seen it.” – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
“Humorous, loving and honest.” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times

PRIMETIME opens today at Sag Harbor Cinema 🎟️

2006. “To Catch a Predator,” the reality sensation whose title nods to Hitchcock’s “To Catch a Thief,” has just landed a primetime slot. Its method is television gold: decoys in online chatrooms, actors waiting on the porch of a suburban “sting house,” and host Chris Hansen strolling in, cool as a talk show host, to confront the man who walks through the door.

Now the ratings have to keep climbing. Producer Andie Bender is being courted by a rival network, Hansen’s personal life is coming apart, and a rumor of a high-profile target in a small Texas town sends the whole operation racing toward a night no one will forget.

Robert Pattinson is magnetic as Hansen in the neon-soaked, noir-tinged narrative debut of acclaimed documentarian Lance Oppenheim. Merritt Wever plays Andie, with Skyler Gisondo as Dan, an aspiring actor recruited as bait, and Phoebe Bridgers as veteran decoy Del. Also starring Matthew Maher, Bokeem Woodbine, and Anna Faris, with Alex Winter, Tony Revolori, and Jonathan Lipnicki.

Why don’t you have a seat? Tickets at the link in bio.

Tonight at Sag Harbor Cinema. Summer Noir continues, and the shadows are in no hurry to leave.

“Border Incident” (1949, dir. Anthony Mann)
Monday, September 21 at 8:00pm

Most noir keeps its shadows in the city. Anthony Mann took his out to the fields of Southern California, and cinematographer John Alton made sure the sun never won an argument. Ricardo Montalban plays a Mexican federal agent who goes undercover as a farmworker to crack a ring that smuggles laborers across the border and leaves no witnesses. George Murphy works the case from the outside, and Howard da Silva runs the gang with all the warmth of a tax audit.

Ripped from 1948 headlines and still remarkably sharp, this is Mann at a crossroads, halfway between his urban crime thrillers and the westerns to come.

Another night, another reason to keep the blinds drawn. Tickets at the link!

Sink your teeth into something classic this Saturday night. Kathryn Bigelow’s 1987 cult “Near Dark” trades dusty tombstones for neon-lit dive bars and endless Southwest highways, fusing the vampire genre with gritty neo-noir and classic Western style.

Released the same year as “The Lost Boys,” Bigelow’s take remains the darker, sleeker, and far more atmospheric cousin of the late-eighties horror revival.

The story follows small-town cowboy Caleb Colton after a late-night encounter with the mysterious Mae leaves him with a lethal bite and an appetite for blood.

Drafted into her nomadic gang of immortal misfits, Caleb finds himself caught between his devotion to Mae, the bloodlust of the sadistic Severen, and the family he left behind.

Featuring an incredible ensemble cast that reunites Aliens icons Bill Paxton, Lance Henriksen, and Jenette Goldstein, the film remains a high-octane study in nocturnal cool.

Experience it the way it was meant to be seen: on 35mm film.

Screening Info:
* Date: Saturday, September 19
* Time: 9:15 PM
