Finding Vivian Maier Fascinating puzzle-piece mystery, and a revealing portrait of an eccentric figure who worked as a nanny from the '50s through the '90s, equipped with a Rolleiflex as she dragged her charges through the Chicago streets. Her heretofore unknown photographs are nothing less than brilliant; the documentary is a find in more ways than one. No MPAA rating

Under the Skin Scarlett Johansson, robotic and hypnotic, stars in this deeply creepy and mysterious noir, about a stranger looking for men to seduce, and devour. From filmmaker Jonathan (Birth, Sexy Beast) Glazer. R
