'By Design' trailer | Dramedy | Juliette Lewis, Mamoudou Athie, Melanie Griffith
Upon seeing a gorgeous chair in a showroom, Camille (Juliette Lewis) realizes that she truly envies the life of this perfect piece of furniture. When she and the chair swap forms, Camille learns that she is better liked as an inanimate object than she was as a person: her mother (Betty Buckley) finds her to be a better listener, and her best friends (Samantha Mathis and Robin Tunney) enjoy a newfound, friction-free rapport. As the chair, Camille winds up in the hands of Olivi

'Train Dreams' review: Joel Edgerton gets derailed in Clint Bentley's period drama
Adapted for the screen by Clint Bentley—who also directs— and Greg Kwedar from a novella of the same name by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams tells the story of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton).

'Together' review: Alison Brie & Dave Franco are drawn to each other
Get ready to carry those moving boxes because there's a new home to move into in Together, a body horror for those looking for a little bit of gooey romance. Millie (Alison Brie) and Tim (Dave Franco) are a couple who have been together for a while now, her being a teacher and him being a struggling musical artist.

'The Plague' review: Psychological drama makes your skin crawl
Here comes The Plague, which transports us back to 2003. 12-year-old Ben (Everett Blunck) arrives at a water polo camp for boys of similar age. He struggles a bit socially as his softer, more considerate personality doesn't quite mesh with his more hive-minded, raucous teammates. The group, often led by a kid named Jake (Kayo Martin), is shunning Eli (Kenny Rasmussen) who has developed a skin condition, which gives the film its title. Joel Edgerton plays coach "Daddy Wags".
