Mercy is a lush indie romance from actor/writer/producer Scott Caan, in an amazing transition from the world of fashion photography to filmmaking. The film follows Johnny Ryan (Caan), a successful young romance novelist who, as it happens, doesn’t actually believe in love. At the launch party for his latest book, Johnny’s world is suddenly turned upside down by the beautiful and mysterious Mercy, the only major critic who dislikes his work. Featuring an on-screen collaboration between Scott and his father, actor James Caan, and a supporting cast that includes Dylan McDermott and Erika Christensen, Mercy explores the struggle of maintaining a relationship and the possibility of losing it all. The film screens on Friday, July 16 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, July 17 at 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, July 18 at 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff; free for UM students. General admission is $8. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.

Please Give is writer/director Nicole Holofcener’s perceptive—and devastatingly funny—take on modern life’s contradictions, good intentions, and shaky moral bearings. The movie stars Catherine Keener as Kate, a Manhattan furniture storeowner balancing life with a teenage daughter, marriage doubts, and meddling parents. Oliver Platt plays her husband, Alex. The couple interact with their New York surroundings and try to figure out how to live well and still be good people when poverty, homelessness, and sadness are always right outside the door. The film screens on Friday, July 16 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, July 17 at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, July 18 at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff; free for UM students. General admission is $8. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
