Judy [Cancelled]

It’s winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in THE WIZARD OF OZ, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Will she have the strength to go on? Featuring some of her best-known songs, including the timeless classic ‘Over the Rainbow’, JUDY celebrates the voice, the capacity for love and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer”.
“Renee Zellweger gives the performance of a lifetime … her Garland encompasses the pain of every woman who’s been crushed under the heel of society’s demands.” The Independent

BAFTA Award Winner – Best Original Screenplay & Best Film – Foreign Launguage
(Korean Language with English & Chinese subtitles)
PARASITE has made Oscars history, becoming the first film ever to win Best Picture as well as Best International Feature at the Academy Awards. It’s an incredibly clever film that has left Hollywood, critics, the industry, and audiences in awe.
Director Bong Joon Ho brings his work home to Korea in this pitch-black modern fairytale. Meet the Park Family: the picture of aspirational wealth. And the Kim Family, rich in street smarts but not much else. A symbiotic relationship forms between the two families. When a parasitic interloper threatens the Kims’ newfound comfort, a savage, underhanded battle for dominance breaks out, threatening to destroy the fragile ecosystem between the Kims and the Parks. An unstoppable string of mishaps lies in wait…
Knives Out [Cancelled]
Wednesday 12th May, 7:45 pm / 130 minutes / PG13 (Some Drug References and Coarse Language)
Acclaimed writer and director Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) pays tribute to mystery mastermind Agatha Christie in KNIVES OUT, a fresh, modern-day murder mystery where everyone is a suspect. When renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) is found dead at his estate just after his 85th birthday, the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is mysteriously enlisted to investigate. From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death.
With an all-star ensemble cast including Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford and Jaeden Martell, KNIVES OUT is a fun, witty and stylish whodunnit guaranteed to keep audiences guessing until the very end.
“Knives Out is one of the most purely entertaining films in years. It is the work of a cinematic magician, one who keeps you so focused on what the left hand is doing that you miss the right. And, in this case, it’s not just a wildly fun mystery to unravel but a scathing bit of social commentary about where America is in 2019…” Rogerebert.com
Little Women [Cancelled]
Thursday 13th May, 7:45 pm / 135 minutes / PG
Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a LITTLE WOMEN that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms – is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothee Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.
1917 [Cancelled]

Golden Globe Winner – Best Motion Picture – Drama & Best Director – Motion Picture
Academy Award Winner – Best Achievement in Cinematography, Best Achievement in Visual Effects & Best Achievement in Sound Mixing
Sam Mendes, the Oscar winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to his World War I epic, 1917.
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.
Sam Mendes has ambitiously, with the help of veteran cinematographer Roger Deakins (BLADE RUNNER 2049), crafted an on-screen experience that pulls audiences into a visceral battlefield to tell this story of brotherhood, sacrifice and liberty.
“Sam Mendes turns western front horror into a single-shot masterpiece…an amazingly audacious film; as exciting as a heist movie, disturbing as a sci-fi nightmare.” The Guardian
Jojo Rabbit [Cancelled]
Saturday 15th May, 7:45 pm / 108 minutes / PG13 (Some Coarse Language and Violence)
In JOJO RABBIT, writer director Taika Waititi brings his signature style of humour and pathos to a World War II satire. The story follows an awkward young German boy raised by a single mother, and whose only ally is his imaginary friend Hitler. His naïve patriotism is tested when he meets a young girl who upends his world views, forcing him to face his biggest fears.
“Bursting with humour and heart” Mashable
