While the stars are in short supply again this year (what’s the deal with that, Hollywood?), there are plenty of worthy films among the 101 being screened at this year’s Heartland Film Festival. At IBJ, we’ve spent the last month screening many of this year’s offerings. Watching them at home isn’t quite the same as seeing them on the big screen, but we think we’ve identified some of the best. You can find reviews of those here, and I’ll be adding more at Lou Harry’s A&E, my IBJ blog, which you can find here.
