YOUNG MOTHERS, opening Friday, is a profoundly moving social-realist gem from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne.

Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne’s work centers on the question of societal responsibility and what we owe each other. Their latest project, “Young Mothers,” continues to pull on that thread. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

“The players in EEPHUS seek out the novel in the familiar, clinging to the sport they know and love as if it’s going to save them. The only throughline is the game itself, driven by the players’ need to keep going until it’s done, in spite of their fatigue and the failing light.”
