A fresh start ...

On its face, it's our worst nightmare -- a mopey post-WWI love story -- but it's made by the wonderful Francois Ozon, so we'll take a chance on "Frantz."

And it's with trepidation that we approach the reunion of childhood friends whose fates have diverged in adulthood, "Donald Cried."

Kristen Stewart and director Olivier Assayas re-team after "Clouds of Sils Maria" for another personal-assistant story, this one involving a spiritual medium hunting down the soul of her dead brother: "Personal Shopper."

Part of the latest genre dubbed Greek Weird Wave, director Argyris Papadimitripoulos imagines a middle-aged creep vacationing at a beach and trying to ingratiate himself into a group of hedonistic young adults and one 21-year-old woman in particular, "Suntan."

The latest from Japanese auteur Hirokazu Kore-eda about an author trying to bond with his son, "After the Storm."

A documentary about the Jon Stewart of Egypt, not an easy gig, "Tickling Giants."

A documentary about people facing a gloomy future in the title town of 94 people on the Texas-Louisiana border, the aptly titled "Uncertain."
