Product Description: Lonely Emma Bovary longs for romance, glamour, possessions. Wed to a country doctor she instead gets routine, motherhood and penny-pinching. So when she catches the eye of a handsome aristocrat, Emma risks all to reach for what she thinks will be happiness. Jennifer Jones stars in this lush adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s famous novel that scandalized 19th century France. The film’s capstone is the stunning ballroom scene, contrasting Emma’s social success with her husband’s failure, culminating in his drunken arrival on the dance floor. In this famed sequence (highlighted by the unforgettable music of Miklos Rozsa), masterful director Vincente Minnelli skillfully combines dissolves, cross-cuts, pans, long takes- a library of techniques into a seamless triumph of head-spinning gaiety, heart-breaking despair, and moviemaking artistry.

In Theaters: JURASSIC WORLD, ME & EARL & THE DYING GIRL, MADAME BOVARY, THE WOLFPACK

One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2015, "Jurassic World" opened today in theaters to a lukewarm reception from critics and some pretty enthusiastic reactions from the fans. Overall, it might not be the franchise revival everyone dreamed of and it's nowhere near the mass positive reaction to "Mad Max: Fury Road", but it will probably provide plenty of dino fun for a hot summer weekend.

But enough about the dull Hollywood blockbuster, here's what you can find in select theaters. Among the limited releases this week we have the Sundance winners "Me & Earl & the Dying Girl" and the documentary "The Wolfpack", which have picked up plenty of positive reviews and each film approaches painful topics in original ways. And finally, there's the new adaptation of Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" starring Mia Wasikowska which, unfortunately, didn't resonate with critics, but may be worth a look. More about each movie after the jump.
