In a world where movie tickets and a babysitter's hourly rates are more than $10, it's understandable that many parents don't get out to the movies very often. But after a summer full of animated racing garden snails, manic yellow minions, and fraternity-brother monsters, it's only fair that you see at least one movie this summer that is neither animated nor intended for family audiences.
Once again, we're here to help. In this installment, we've compiled a list of three critically acclaimed grown-up movies by debut directors. One makes you think about race in America, and two are vastly different summer coming-of age stories, but all three are worth seeing sans kids.
Go on then, pick a movie, get the sitter, and treat yourself to a night at the movies.
'Fruitvale Station' (Rated R)
Directed by: Ryan Coogler | Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Melonie Diaz, Octavia Spencer | Runtime: 90 minutes
