FILMS SHOWING Friday July 22 to Thursday July 28

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

14A

"No other summer release is going to give us a drag-revue singalong to 'At Seventeen,' indelibly describe a jacuzzi as 'a smoothie of old sperm,' or divulge the secret of Jon Hamm’s deflowering. This short, bright, lovably shambolic outing does all that with Bollinger-soaked one-liners to spare." - Variety

Edina (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy (Joanna Lumley) make the transition to the big screen. After six successful seasons on television on the British series Absolutely Fabulous, they're still living the high life with shopping sprees, drinking and of course, clubbing.

Our Kind of Traitor

"a smart tale of corrosive corruption that captures le Carré's world-weary cynicism perfectly." - Salt Lake Tribune

The Cold War may be over but the Russian mafia schemes to infiltrate London, one of the world’s financial capitals, to launder dirty money.

Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris are British couple Perry and Gail, holidaying in Morocco and struggling to get past infidelity. They encounter Dima (Stellan Skarsgard), a bluff Russian with a prodigious memory for numbers.

From the director of the Oscar-winning documentary '20 Feet from Stardom.'

“With a documentary called The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, there's no doubting that wonderful sounds will be in store. But that's not all that's on offer.

Sleeping Giant

14A

Winner of Best Canadian Feature at TIFF. "Not just the best Canadian movie of 2015, but one of the year’s best films, period." - Toronto Star

“Set in a momentous summer around the shores of Lake Superior, Sleeping Giant is a coming-of-age marvel. This resounding feature debut by Toronto director Andrew Cividino updates and expands upon his 2014 short film by the same name, but it’s not just a longer version of the original. It goes much deeper, with rich character shadings.

The Little Prince

Based on the beloved fable by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. "This first feature screen animation of 'The Little Prince' is a pleasure to behold." - Toronto Star

"The Little Prince, a delightfully and beautifully animated adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved 1943 novella, is a whimsical journey in favour of following dreams and finding life’s true loves – a film for young audiences as well as for the oldies who’ve lost their way.
