FREMONT

Her service as a translator for the U.S. military gave twentysomething Afghani Donya (Anaita Wali Zada) entry to America, where she now lives a solitary existence in Fremont, California, scripting the contents for a fortune cookie factory. Her days spent trying to carve out a new life, and contending with the ghosts of her old one, are wryly observed in this affecting, Jarmusch-resonant effort; Jeremy Allen White, Gregg Turkington, Siddique Ahmed, Boots Riley also star. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack; English.
