The Conspirator: A young Washington, D.C., lawyer (James McAvoy) reluctantly agrees to defend a woman (Robin Wright) implicated in Abraham Lincoln's death, then confronts a government effort to convict and execute her even if she's innocent. Robert Redford's period drama has chilling contemporary resonances.
Jane Eyre: A governess (Mia Wasikowska) and her employer (Michael Fassbender) have a tortured romance in this absorbing adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel. This is the sort of buttoned-up Victorian love story that gets moviegoers sighing happily.
