The Nest
by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
Four squabbling adult siblings, dependent on a shared trust fund, confront their reckless brother whose foolish accident has threatened their inheritance. Full of Manhattan apartments, old money, and familial dysfunction, this is a whip-smart, gossip-worthy family drama.

by Emily Giffin
Rachel is a dutiful Manhattan attorney and has always played second fiddle to her bestie Darcy, until she confesses her feelings to Darcy's fiancé. Late-night hustles and young-professional NYC ambition await in this guilty-pleasure pick about breaking the rules for love.

A 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain (Dominic Sessa) arrives in Provincetown, MA, and falls into the chaotic, high-heat world of a restaurant kitchen after his future takes a turn. Set against New England’s salty, scrappy seaside charm, a wild and formative summer laid the groundwork for the culinary rebel he'd become. The coming-of-age biopic is coming to theaters this August.
