• Horny in the forest.

Our big DON'T MISS of the day is Without:

Set on Whidbey Island, the film is about a young woman (Joslyn Jensen) who is hired to care for a catatonic old man (Ron Carrier) while a family is away on vacation. The young woman is from the city, has recently lost a lover, and is deeply lonely. The old man says nothing; he just sits there (in a wheelchair) and stares into the space. Nature—trees, deer, bees, birds—surrounds the house; the young woman can’t get a connection on her cellphone. She becomes more and more bored and horny. This film is a Northwest gem. CHARLES MUDEDE

But there are plenty of other worthwhile options too. Like Finding Kind, a documentary about lady-bullies:

This documentary begins with the slightly distasteful and eye-rolly premise that nobody does more damage to women than other women (because, um, perhaps you have forgotten about MEN [and also lions!]). Domestic violence and rape and sex trafficking (and maulings!) aside, though, girl-on-girl bullying can be a vicious, nail-breaking shit-show. In this endearing documentary, a pair of best friends (who happen to be queen-bee pretty girls, but no matter) travel the country speaking with middle and high school girls about their pain and the pain they’ve caused others. It’s a sweet, earnest addition to the current anti-bullying movement. A few confessional scenes—little girls in braces pouring their broken hearts into the camera—will stick with you. LINDY WEST

And The Trip, which Charles Mudede enjoyed (no thanks to Michael Winterbottom):

Surprisingly, The Trip is not a bad film. This, however, has nothing to do with the director, Michael Winterbottom, and everything to do with the two stars, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. The substance of The Trip is their improvised interactions, some of which reach the region of genius. Indeed, all Winterbottom had to do was present a context (a dinner table in some country restaurant—the film is a kind of British Sideways), a position for the camera, and the command to begin acting. Coogan and Brydon did the rest. CHARLES MUDEDE
