Showtimes and Tickets here

"A ravishing, daring biopic of Emily Brontë...It is one of those films that is better than anyone can ever make it sound." - Deborah Ross, The Spectator

Emily imagines Emily Brontë’s own Gothic story, which inspired her seminal novel Wuthering Heights. Haunted by the death of her mother, Emily (played by Sex Education's Emma Mackey) struggles within the confines of her family life and yearns for artistic and personal freedom, and so begins a journey to channel her creative potential into one of the greatest novels of all time.

Emotionally poignant and artfully crafted, ONE FINE MORNING opens the Original Friday

Sandra, a young mother who raises her daughter alone, pays regular visits to her sick father. While she and her family fight tooth and nail to get him the care he requires, Sandra reconnects with Clément, a friend she hasn't seen in a while. Although he is in a relationship, the two begin a passionate affair.

"Hansen-Love finds moments of truth in the melange, and Seydoux is transcendent, carrying a sadness inside which proves incredibly moving when the opportunity for love presents itself and she melts into it." - Screen International
