WHAT THE CRITICS SAID

Entertainment Weekly: Lisa Schwarzbaum

A movie at once understated and radical, deceptively unremarkable in presentation and ballsy in its earnestness. Don't let the star's overly familiar squint fool you: This is subtle, perceptive stuff.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis

Mr. Eastwood is also an adept director of his own performances and, perhaps more important, a canny manipulator of his own iconographic presence.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

A lifetime in movies runs through this prime vintage Eastwood performance. You can't take your eyes off him. The no-frills, no-bull Gran Torino made my day.

Movie night is sponsored by the Dennis Perkins Farmers Insurance Agency. Catering from The Atlantic Restaurant.

WHAT'S THE MOVIE?
Our license does not allow us to publish the name of the movie. But if you call us, weโ€™ll be able to tell you! We're not trying to be cagey; we just don't want to lose the license that allows us to show great movies.

But if you call us at 203-744-6177, weโ€™ll be happy to tell you.
