Every week we dive into the cream of the crop when it comes to home releases, including Blu-ray and DVDs, as well as recommended deals of the week. If we were provided screener copies, we’ll have our own write-up, but if that’s not the case, one can find official descriptions from the distributors. Check out our rundown below and return every Tuesday for the best films one can take home.

George Washington (David Gordon Green)
Over the course of one hot summer, a group of children in the decaying rural South must confront a tangle of difficult choices. An ambitiously constructed, elegantly photographed meditation on adolescence, the first full-length film by director David Gordon Green features remarkable performances from an award-winning ensemble cast. George Washington is a startling and distinct work of contemporary American independent cinema. – Criterion.com
Inside Llewyn Davis (Joel and Ethan Coen)
While some films struggle to conjure a specific mood when it comes to just a specific scene, Joel and Ethan Coen excel yet again at layering their work from the first frame to the last with a distinct tone. Following a flawed artist, flawlessly played by Oscar Isaac, Inside Llewyn Davis is the melancholic journey of a man consistently one step removed from the road to a better life — a struggle I imagine shared by many. Complete with the best soundtrack of the year, the Coens’ latest work, like their greatest, is one I see myself revisiting time and time again. – Jordan R.
