A droll satirical look at how our cultural obsession with looking young affects women who believe their value depends on their appearance. This richly layered directorial debut by Tony Shaloub, starring his real life wife Brooke Adams, and written by her sister Lynne Adams, cross-cuts between characters facing sobering truths in their lives while a documentary crew films them.

Fifty million Americans do crossword puzzles each week, many in the venerable New York Times, which published its first puzzle in 1942. For the past 12 years, the man whose name has been indelibly linked to the Times crosswords is editor Will Shortz. In Wordplay, director Patrick Creadon presents an entertaining and informative look at Shortz’s work and that of the puzzle constructors with whom he collaborates. As these pros demonstrate how to create a crossword, Creadon cleverly integrates interviews with celebrity crossword solvers, including Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Jon Stewart, Ken Burns, the Indigo Girls, and others. --Basil Tsiokos, Sundance Film Festival Guide Chicago native and University of Notre Dame graduate
