A film as big as X-Men: Days of Future Past would have every right to command the box office all to itself this week, but a fascinating-looking period drama from Poland says otherwise.

Poland, Denmark | 82 minutes | Drama
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski (The Woman in the Fifth, My Summer of Love, Last Resort)

Before making her vows, a young nun makes contact with her last remaining relative. But the Aunt she meets is annihilating painful memories with a heady mix of sex and booze, and before long a dark secret from their family’s past is revealed, leaving both women to confront the devastating truth.
