SEE HOW THEY RUN
12-98mins-2022
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
In the West End of 1950’s London, plans for a film version of a smash hit play come to an abrupt halt after a main member of the crew is murdered.
When world weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case they find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit at their own peril.
Ronan and Rockwell are wonderful as the leads in this winsome homage to the archetypal “Christie” whodunit.
Thursday 20th February
THELMA
12-99mins-2024
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
When 94 year old Thelma is phone scammed out of $10,000 she decides to get on a mobility scooter and take the law into her own hands resulting in a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.
The idea for this mobility scooter revenge caper was inspired by the director Josh Margolin’s memories of his own grandmother. It results in this playful and light hearted feel good comedy .
Friday 28th February
THE CRITIC
15-101mins-2023
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
Tickets – £5.50
Ian McKellen gives a magnificent performance as a powerful London theatre critic writing for The Daily Chronicle. He is known as “The Monster” due to his acerbic reviews. He finds himself in conflict with the editor and new owner when he is asked to “tone it down”.
A battle royal ensues with a struggling actress (Gemma Arterton) being used in a blackmail scheme with deadly consequences.
A tour de force by Sir Ian McKellen which should not be missed.
Thursday 13th March
SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE
12A-98mins-2024
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
Tickets – £5.50
Cillian Murphy plays Bill, a man who witnesses Ireland’s notorious Magdalene Laundries, abusive workhouses for unwed mothers, in an absorbing Dickensian story based on recent history.
Bill is a coalman in County Wexford during the 1980s. Delivering coal to the church laundry he sees the terrified girls for himself and is reminded of his own unmarried mother and boyhood.
His knowledge represents a threat to the church sister who is beautifully played as a dead-eyed tyrant by Emily Watson.
An absorbing committed drama.
Thursday 20th March
FIREBRAND
15-120mins-2023
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
1500s-based “Firebrand” re-imagines the marriage of Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander) to King Henry VIII (Jude Law) of England – when it was torn by religious division. As his sixth wife she tries steering him and his kingdom onto a liberal path, while treading a careful political line. Firebrand packs enough fictionalised surprises to give the average Tudor historian a turn.
Thursday 17th April
POOR THINGS
18-141mins-2023
Doors open at 7.00 for 7.30pm start
And now for something completely different……..
A female parallel to Frankenstein’s monster in which a young woman, Bella, brilliantly played by Emma Stone, is brought back to life as a barely verbal blank slate and embarks on a voyage of discovery to become the ultimate self-made woman. The film includes scenes in which Bella explores her body and sexuality with the same delight and sense of adventure she brings to the wider world.
Really well reviewed and winner of four Oscars including Best Actress for Emma Stone.
Come and try a more challenging film than our usual fare.
