Nightmare Alley (Open Caption)

When available to The Lyric, the Monday morning 10 AM matinee and the Tuesday evening 7:30 PM show will feature Open Captions.

When charismatic but down-on-his-luck Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) endears himself to clairvoyant Zeena (Toni Collette) and her has-been mentalist husband Pete (David Strathairn) at a traveling carnival, he crafts a golden ticket to success, using this newly acquired knowledge to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. With the virtuous Molly (Rooney Mara) loyally by his side, Stanton plots to con a dangerous tycoon (Richard Jenkins) with the aid of a mysterious psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who might be his most formidable opponent yet. Co-written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth).
