David Fincher’s adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s twisty bestseller is deliciously entertaining with Ben Affleck as a guy under suspicion for mudering wife Rosamund Pike. Lots of fantastic supporting turns, including Neil Patrick Harris as a Norman Bates-y stalker ex and Missi Pyle as a Nancy Grace-esque TV personality, contribute to the fun. Extras include a commentary.

John Lithgow and Alfred Molina will move you to laughter and tears in director Ira Sachs’ latest feature, about a longtime gay Manhattan couple forced to live apart when their finances collapse.

Film Festival Q&A session and commentary.

A married lesbian couple in Germany, Katja and Isabella, discover that the road to having a child together is a bumpier one than expected: the fertility clinic route doesn’t work out due to legal inequities when it comes to gay couples despite their legal bond, and the process of finding a do-it-at-home donor isn’t so easy. Will the cost of this pursuit include their relationship?
