And briefly, opening next week is Bee Season. When religious studies professor, Saul Naumann – Richard Gere – discovers that his daughter Eliza, Flora Cross – is gifted with words, he becomes obsessed with helping her win the National Spelling Bee. He teaches her the secrets of Kabala, believing this will bring him closer to God. But his picture perfect family begins to fall apart as wife Miriam and son Aaron, Juliette Binoche and Max Minghella, search elsewhere for enlightenment. With striking effects and strong performances, especially from Flora Cross, Bee Season is a mystical film about contemporary spiritual dilemmas.
