Back from this year’s Berlinale Film Festival, which was packed with celebrities, retrospectives (Spielberg), buzzy premieres (Sean Penn’s Ukraine documentary for Vice), and a very strong lineup.

I wrote up a few movies for Slant, each of which should (hopefully) be hitting a theater near you in the coming year.

• BlackBerry: A semi-comic docudrama about the rise and fall of everyone’s onetime favorite smartphone.
• Inside: Willem Dafoe’s master art thief is trapped inside a rich man’s penthouse.
• Manodrome: Jesse Eisenberg and Adrien Brody star in this unnerving dispatch from the frontlines of masculinity.
• Teacher’s Lounge: An idealistic teacher’s best intentions go horribly awry.
