Second-generation Iranian filmmaker Panah Panahi (son of the legendary Jafar Panahi) makes an impressive debut as a writer-director in his right with “Hit the Road” (Kino Lorber). Here Are All the Nicolas Cage Movies Referenced in ‘Massive Talent’ “Potato Dreams of America” (Dark Star/Vinegar Syndrome): In Wes Hurley’s autobiographical comedy, a gay Russian boy hopes for a better life when his mail-order-bride mother takes them to Seattle. “The Little Hours” (Gunpowder & Sky): Medieval nuns Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie and Kate Micucci are sent into a frenzy by the appearance of handyman Dave Franco. “Inspector Ike” (Factory 25): This parody of 1970s TV movies stars Ikechukwu Ufomadu (“Ziwe”) as New York’s greatest detective. “Gold” (Screen Media): More Zac Efron, this time as a desert drifter who must protect a valuable discovery. Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith star as a couple whose automated manny shuts down, and as Farrell tries to navigate the robot underground (he bought an off-warranty model), the family must explore Yang’s place in the family as the primary caretaker of Farrell and Turner-Smith’s adopted Chinese daughter. Kogonada’s gorgeous follow-up to “Columbus,” “After Yang” (Lionsgate), thoughtfully and provocatively employs its sci-fi premise about nearly-human robots to examine a multitude of ideas, from immigration and assimilation to the fragility of human relationships.
