Drama; starring Regina Casé, Lima Duarte, Stênio Garcia, and Luiz Carlos Vasconcelos; directed by Andrucha Waddington

Release Date: March 2 (Sony Pictures Classics)

Judging from the success of 1998’s Central Station, American audiences should be receptive to this quiet, emotional drama from Brazil. In Them, Casé, who is a cross between a soap star and a folk hero in her native land, takes on the role of Darlene, an inspiring matriarch who happens to have three husbands. Take note, though: There’s a complexity to the relationships between these characters. Think The Thorn Birds rather than the latest Aaron Spelling venture.
