00:12Joanna Scanlon stars as an English woman who converts to Islam for marriage,

00:16only to discover when her husband dies that he was living a shocking double life.

00:21Where is Amit? Who are you?

00:24Then there's Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.

00:26Kelly Freeman Craig's adaptation of the classic Judy Blume novel is a coming-of-age story about an 11-year-old girl

00:32navigating life as her family moves from the city to the suburbs.

00:36You have to wear a bra.

00:40Oh.

00:42Do you think you need one?

00:44Next is the documentary De Humani Corporis Fabrica,

00:48which takes us not only deep inside the world of invasive medical procedures in several Parisian hospitals,

00:53but as far inside the human body as a feature-length documentary has ever gone.

01:05Another pick is Godland.

01:06Set in the late 19th century, the film follows a young priest who travels from Denmark to Iceland,

01:12where his faith is tested.

01:48That's all we need, right?

01:52You and me.

02:05features Greta Lee as a woman who wrestles between love and destiny with two men.

02:10Childhood sweethearts who reconnect 20 years later and realize they were meant for each other.

02:16In the story, I would be the evil white American husband standing in the way of destiny.

02:21Shut up.

02:22Then there's the exhilarating genre mash-up, Rodeo,

02:25about a motorbike rider who claims her place in the brotherhood of outlaw dirtbike rodeos.

02:41played by Michelle Williams, making art while navigating everyday problems outside her garage studio.

02:47I don't know what I'm supposed to do without hot water.

02:49My show's open on Friday. I'll be free to deal with it after that.
