Reviewed by critics Carrie Rickey (C.R.) and Steven Rea (S.R.). W.S. denotes a wire-service review.

Cyrus A divorced man (John C. Reilly) falls for a woman (Marisa Tomei) with an eccentric adult son (Jonah Hill). The byplay between Reilly and Hill is sublime. 1 hr. 31 R (profanity and some sexual material) - W.S.

Father of My Children A heartbreaking and beautiful film about a French movie producer, his nightmare business travails, and his wife and three daughters. It could have turned maudlin, but it never does. 2 hrs. No MPAA rating (adult themes) - S.R.

I Am Love Swoony and swanky melodrama with Tilda Swinton as the wife of an Italian industrialist, a Sleeping Beauty awakened by a passionate affair with her son's best friend. In Italian and Russian with English subtitles. 2 hrs. R (nudity, sexuality) - C.R.

The Kids Are All Right Deft social satire starring Annette Bening and Julianne Moore as a lesbian couple whose teenage children find their Sperm Dad (Mark Ruffalo).

Winter's Bone A spare, powerful mystery set in the Missouri Ozarks, about a 17-year-old girl (Jennifer Lawrence) who goes looking for her father and runs into meth dealers and wary, ornery kin in the process. 1 hr. 40 R (violence, profanity, drugs, adult themes) - S.R.

Despicable Me **1/2 Affable, inconsequential animated feature about an arch arch-villain (voice of Steve Carell) whose hard heart is softened by a trio of orphans who interfere with his nefarious plan to steal the moon. With voice work by Jason Segel and Julie Andrews. 1 hr. 35 PG (cartoon violence) - C.R.
