 Bracing for the winds of spare change ...

We will honor Ken Loach ("Kes," "I, Daniel Blake") by watching his final film, about a gruff northern England town dealing with an influx of Syrian refugees, "The Old Oak."

Radu Jude ("Aferim," "Uppercase Print," "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn") is inconsistent among the Romanian directors, so we'll be a bit trepidatious over his nearly three-hour hectic romp, "Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World."

Quirky storyteller Bob Byington ("7 Chinese Brothers," "Somebody Up There Likes Me") is back with a dark comedy, "Lousy Carter."

An Australian noir, with Simon Baker chasing a cold case, "Limbo."

Teenage girls take part in an immersive exercise in democracy, the documentary "Girls State."
