Awards Contenders Crowd Specialty Theaters This Weekend
The weekend’s specialty releases include John Turturro as an aging pickpocket in The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, Olivia Colman in Wicker, Helen Mirren in A Talent for Murder, and Fatherland with Hans Zischler and Sandra Hüller. A24’s You Can See Everything moves into wide release, while Netflix expands its TIFF audience award winner La Bola Negra.
Sony Pictures Classics is launching Noah Segan’s The Only Living Pickpocket in New York on six screens split between New York and Los Angeles. John Turturro plays Harry Lehman, a veteran thief whose returns are shrinking as the city around him changes.
The same frame also brings Olivia Colman in Wicker, Helen Mirren in A Talent for Murder, and Fatherland, with Hans Zischler and Sandra Hüller as Thomas Mann and his daughter on a journey. A24 is widening You Can See Everything, while Netflix is adding screens for La Bola Negra, its TIFF audience award recipient.
This lineup may matter most to awards-season followers, specialty-cinema regulars, and urban audiences near the named venues. The limited New York and Los Angeles run could give Turturro’s film early word-of-mouth, while wider A24 and Netflix availability may let more viewers join the conversation. Smaller theaters could benefit if these titles draw crowds, though the effect may stay concentrated among film enthusiasts rather than the broader public.
