Sarasota Film Festival | Today's best bets

Films

"Cartel Land." It's the story of two vigilante groups, one in Texas and one in Mexico, both fighting the drug cartels. It's a documentary that feels like a narrative film, full of amazing characters. Show times: 5:15 p.m. April 16, 10:30 a.m. April 18.

"White God." "White God" is "epic," and it won an award at the Cannes Film Festival for its canine actors. Show times: 7:45 p.m. April 16, 7:15 p.m. April 19.

"Lamb." From a plot synopsis, most people probably wouldn't pick it out as a film they wanted to see, SFF program director Michael Dunaway said. He doesn't want to give away much about the plot, but it begins with a middle-aged man picking up an elementary school-aged girl and taking her for a cross-country trip. "For the whole film you're wondering if it's going to go where you don't want it to go," Dunaway said. Show times: 7:15 p.m. April 16, 5 p.m. April 17.
