Also in limited release is a thriller called I’ll Follow You Down. It stars Rufus Sewell as a scientist who goes missing. Gillian Anderson plays his wife and Haley Joel Osment (remember the kid from The Sixth Sense? He’s all grown up here) is his son. Years later, they think they may be able to find him – alive. It’s playing in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary. Last but not least, the comedy Obvious Child opens in Toronto. It’s about a woman (Jenny Slate) who goes through a breakup.
