Victoria & Abdul

"God save Dame Judi Dench. The one-woman powerhouse has, at 82 years of age, given a career-high turn in Victoria and Abdul." - The Times

"A little-known episode from the final years of Queen Victoria’s reign provides the inspiration for this unexpected odd-couple comedy drama, which reflects upon changing British attitudes towards India.

Breathe

"A romance and a real-life adventure, full of life-and-death peril and unexpected cheerful good humor, about a pioneer in disability rights and dignity." - Flick Philosopher

Loving Vincent

"Visually, it’s spectacular. Conceptually, it’s jaw-dropping to simply consider the effort that went into this.... LOVING VINCENT is itself an imaginative work of art. And what better way than that to honor its subject?” – Washington Post

Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House

"Liam Neeson is quietly devastating in this biopic of Watergate's Deep Throat that is eerily relevant if you wonder if there'll be a modern-day Felt to bring down the White House." - Rolling Stone

“We historicize Watergate as an era-defining triumph of investigative journalism over political corruption, but those who lived through it know the exposé and its astonishing outcome were the result of years of dogged work — work that could never have been done without the anonymous whistleblower known only as Deep Throat.

BPM (Beats Per Minute)

18A

"Robin Campillo's outstanding AIDS activist drama melds the personal, the political and the erotic to heart-bursting effect." - Variety

"A wrenching love story, set in Paris in the early 1990s, told against the background of HIV/AIDS activists battling against government and pharmaceutical indifference as they fight for their lives. The group is ACT UP-Paris and the movie is BPM (Beats Per Minute), an impassioned and incendiary cry from the heart.

Viceroy’s House

14A

"A moving tale about the tragic partition of India, Gurinder Chadha's immaculate production glistens with authenticity." - Tribune News Service

“Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha winds back the clock to the eve of Indian Partition for Viceroy’s House, a big-hearted upstairs-downstairs drama. The upstairs is as high as you could go in 1947 India: Lord Louis Mountbatten (Hugh Bonneville) is the last viceroy of India.
