Friday’s ML openings: Go west, young movie fan

Dan Webster

I'm still waiting to hear from the mainstream theaters about what movies they're opening on Friday. (Other than, of course, the mega-disaster flick "San Andreas," which is opening everywhere.) But at least I have the Magic Lantern's lineup. Friday's Lantern openings are as follows:

"Clouds of Sils Maris": Juliet Binoche, Kristen Stewart and Chloë Grace Moretz star in this intriguing tale of two actresses, a personal assistant, meteorology, metaphysics and professional rivalry. This second-run (it already played at AMC), multi-language (English, French, German) film poses a singular question: Who knew that "Twilight" actress could act?

"Slow West": A teenage boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) teams up with a guide (Michael Fassbender) to search through the Old West for his one true love (Caren Pistorius). It, too, poses a question: Do you smell gunsmoke?
