Both films are due to arrive in theaters in limited release in the United States this weekend, on Christmas Day, before expanding nationwide in mid-January both have been screened extensively for film critics across the country, in order to qualify for critics’ group votes, and both aspire with some confidence to perform well at this February’s Academy Awards.
