“Virtuous” follows the shocking measures a vindictive ex-wife is willing to go to in order to find her abusive ex-husband.

“Cecile,” on the other hand, takes a more melancholy approach as a sickly woman returns home, years after having a fallout with her only relative, in the hopes to make amends. Set in a low-cost apartment complex, her aunt Cecile is the absolution that she seeks. Slow-paced and heart-wrenching, “Cecile” takes what is known about mortality and forgiveness and gives it a poignant twist.

A parodical snippet of a popular historical fiction topic, “Divorcing in the 16thCentury” will remind you why the Tudors was one of the most notorious dynasties.
