Our critics' selections
An Education Carey Mulligan shines as a suburban British teen, circa 1962, who falls for an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) in this beautifully turned coming-of-age tale, adapted from journalist Lynn Barber's memoir by writer Nick Hornby and director Lone Scherfig. Funny, sad, subtle, real. R
The New Year Parade A quietly forceful homegrown drama about a family in the throes of divorce, and in the throes of preparations for the annual Mummers festivities. It's not just the South Philly locales that feel authentic in this keen-eyed indie. No MPAA rating
Revanche This Austrian foreign-language Oscar nominee is a slow-burning, suspenseful psychological thriller about an ex-con, a prostitute, a cop and his wife - their paths crossing in the wake of a botched bank robbery. No MPAA rating
