There’s plenty of magical realism and stunning cinematography in the English film debut of Peruvian director Claudia Llosa. In Aloft, Cillian Murphy stars as Ivan, a hawk breeder who sets off to find his mysterious guru healing mother (Jennifer Connelly), who abandoned him 20 years before, along with a documentary filmmaker, played by Mélanie Laurent, who is desperate to find out everything about the famously reclusive woman.

The Internet was drowning in nineties nostalgia last month when the trailer for this documentary about the life of the Nirvana frontman was released. Directed by Brett Morgen, the film has early footage of the late singer as a toddler and then moody teenager, and it even offers a glimpse of little-seen home videos of his wife, Courtney Love, and newborn daughter, Frances Bean.
