1. Moonrise Kingdom
This flick follows two 12-year-olds, Sam and Suzy, in a small town in New England as they fall in love and run away together.

A group of adults must create a search party and find the kids before the storm hits and mayhem ensues.
2. 6 Years
This drama follows a college couple, Melanie and Dan (played by Taissa Farmiga and Ben Rosenfield), in their complicated, and sometimes volatile, relationship as they face the inevitable end to their young lives in college and the possibilities of the real world.
3. Jamesy Boy

4. Tiny Furniture
For all the Lena Dunham fans out there, this one's for you. After graduating from film school, Aura (played by Lena), returns to New York to live with her photographer mother and younger sister (also played by Lena's real-life mother, Laurie Simmons, and sister, Grace Dunham).
