"Lymelife," executive-produced by Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese, is a coming-of-age story set in late 1970s Long Island.
Rory Culkin -- youngest brother to former child star Macaulay Culkin -- plays the 15-year-old protagonist while Alec Baldwin, Canadian Jill Hennessy, Timothy Hutton, Emma Roberts and Cynthia Nixon co-star.
Paul Dano, who made a splash in the films "There Will Be Blood" and "Little Miss Sunshine," stars in "Gigantic" as a mattress store worker who wants to adopt a Chinese baby. John Goodman plays the father to Dano's love interest (Zooey Deschanel).
Playing a grocery store worker is Martin Landau in "Lovely," which features the music of indie rocker Conor Oberst and a score by members of his group Bright Eyes. Ellen Burstyn co-stars as a stranger who enters Landau's home and ends up becoming his lover.
