Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts star in A24 Films' "While We're Young"

A sharp, breezy take on a Manhattan couple suffering from a mid-life crisis, While We’re Young continues Noah Baumbach’s two-decade long winning streak as one of the most insightful American filmmakers working today.

Jim Parsons and Rihanna star in Dreamworks Animations' "Home"
