    THE QUIET GIRL
    (Gaelic – English subtitles)
    Set in rural Ireland in 1981, this Oscar-nominated film tells the story of a young girl Cáit, who is sent away for the summer from her dysfunctional family to live with “her mother’s people”, Seán and Eibhlín, a middle-aged couple she has never met. Slowly, in their care, Cáit blossoms and discovers a new way of living – but in this house where affection grows, and where there are meant to be no secrets, she discovers one. “A deeply moving tale… already feels like a classic. It is a jewel.” – The Guardian

    April 15th
    THE RAILWAY CHILDREN RETURN

    The follow-up to the classic family favourite film ‘The Railway Children’. This time, it’s 1944 and Bobbie (Jenny Agutter), one of the original Railway Children but by now a grandmother, welcomes a group of Mancunian evacuees to her home in Yorkshire.  Rambling about the countryside, they encounter a young African-American GI who is hiding from the authorities. Will they help him to stay hidden? Like the heart-warming original 1970 film, this is engaging and entertaining, big-hearted, warm and funny, winningly played by its fresh cast.

    MRS HARRIS GOES TO PARIS

    Lesley Manville plays a chirpy cleaner who comes into money and heads to Paris with a dream to buy a beautiful Christian Dior gown. Wide-eyed Mrs Harris is initially looked down on with haughty Gallic astonishment by the fashion house, who have no wish to be addressed as “ducks”. But Mrs Harris’s charm wins everyone over. With a lovely sweet-natured sense of fun, Manville plays this with absolute conviction: her naivety with just the right lightness and her determination with the right edge of steel. A terrific family movie.

    Saturday September 17th – THE DUKE

    A British movie starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren based on a true story from the 1961 of an art-stealing pensioner. When Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery, it was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting, on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly. What happened next became the stuff of legend, only 50 years later did the full story emerge – a wonderfully uplifting tale.

A thrilling film of unforgettable songs and amazing choreography, infused with the scorching rhythms and energy of a Manhattan heatwave, built on the infectious Latin rhythms of salsa & merengue alongside soul, pop, hip-hop and R&B. A word-of- mouth sensation on Broadway, this life-affirming story will enthral and delight audiences of all ages.
