Not all relationships fit like a glove.

Mirabelle, a quiet and orderly saleswoman at a high-end department store, finds her world suddenly filled with life when two very different men seek her affection: Ray, an affluent logician with cool, sincere charm, and Jeremy, a penniless graphic designer with a few steps to go in his career and social etiquette. As Mirabelle moves toward Ray, she discovers differences in their paths which prove too great a hurdle, unbeknownst to her Ray is creating them to guard his own fears of rejection. Anand Tucker directs this adaptation of Steve Martin’s 2000 novella.

Distraught over the death of his partner of 16 years, college professor George Falconer places a handgun into his briefcase on the morning of November 30, 1962 with the intent to kill himself at day’s end. As George fastidiously prepares for his suicide and aftermath, a series of meaningful encounters with an aspiring actor, former girlfriend, and an admiring student unknowingly alter his schedule, and perhaps his own self-destruction. Directed by Tom Ford.
