Dark Horse

TBC

Inspirational true story of a group of friends from a Welsh working men’s club who take on the elite ‘sport of kings’ and breed themselves a racehorse. "Up there with the great underdog stories." (Total Film)

“With its sheer warmth and likability, this good-natured documentary won my heart – a real-life The Full Monty or Billy Elliot. In 2000, Jan Vokes was a barmaid and part-time cleaner in the Welsh village of Cefn Fforest, a place depressed both economically and emotionally.

Money Monster

14A

"'Money Monster' is better than a mere statement of the times. It's terrific entertainment, and it deserves to be seen now." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Since Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008, Hollywood has discovered there are reliable returns to be made on Wall Street thrillers that expose the fraud and vilify the greed.

Viva

14A

“Vivid and fresh. Remarkable performances. The other star of the film is Havana itself, its decrepit glory marvellously evoked.” - The Guardian

“A young, gay hairdresser (Héctor Medina) who styles wigs for a drag troupe in a Havana nightclub starts supplementing his meager income by taking to the stage himself, but just as he's discovering the joys of performance, his long-absent father (Jorge Perugorría) is released from prison, moves in, and forbids him to go near the club.

The Meddler

"It's a fun and funny movie that delivers an honest portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship and the heartache that comes not just from losing someone but from moving on after they're gone." - L.A. Weekly

"Susan Sarandon is a star shining on her highest beams. Only a fool would want to miss those fireworks. So check out 'The Meddler,' in which Sarandon dives into her juiciest role in years as Marnie Minervini, a New Jersey widow who travels to Los Angeles to be near her screenwriter daughter Lori (the ever-amazing Rose Byrne). Why?

Sing Street

14A

"A sweet rock ‘n roll, coming-of-age, 80s nostalgia, teen-romance fairytale that will have you tapping your toes, dabbing your eyes and calling for an encore. Go ahead, stand up and cheer. You won’t have a better time at the movies this year." - Indiewire

"Music and joy. We could all use more of that, and 'Sing Street' has it in abundance. The film from 'Once' writer/director John Carney celebrates eighties music, loners, teen romance, big brothers and pretty much everything in between. Oh, and you will want the soundtrack.

Hello, My Name is Doris

14A

"'Hello, My Name Is Doris' ... uses this funny, outwardly ridiculous character to tell a simple story about a love that rarely speaks its name, including in movies: that of an older woman for a much younger man." - New York Times

"Doris (Sally Field) is the kind of office worker who’s taken for granted. About the only thing her co-workers know about her is her name, and they probably wouldn’t even care to speculate about her life in the world beyond the elevators.
