Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

Set Fire to the Stars
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice

Redeemer
[New Today] Mark Dujsik @ RogerEbert.com

2015 Films (Coming Soon)
Chagall-Malevich
