    Wednesday 23 September – Tuner    15          1 hr 47 mins     
    Niki (Leo Woodall) works as a piano tuner under the mentorship of Harry (Dustin Hoffman), and the two of them bond over their work and their shared love of music. Niki has hyperacusis, an allergy to loud noises, and when Harry falls ill, Niki, desperate to help pay the hospital bills, gets tangled up in crime, discovering that his condition qualifies him as an exceptional safe-cracker. Meanwhile, he develops feelings for Ruthie (Havana Rose Liu), an aspiring composer.

    “Leo Woodall’s breakout TV roles in The White Lotus and One Day offered a megawatt charisma, but for his biggest film role to date he dims it to a soft glow with gentle performance opposite Dustin Hoffman as one of a pair of New York piano tuners. And what a pair they are; they are a real pleasure to watch in an easy, unforced drama that mixes romcom moments with a relaxed crime thriller.” The Guardian
    “Jazzy soundtrack. Smart script. Moving medical condition. Sweet love story. Oh, and The Sydney Opera House namechecked as a highly coveted gig on the composing circuit. What’s not to love?” The Australian
    “A damn good watch.” Empire

    Wednesday 28 October – The Christophers          15          1 hr 40 mins
    Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden and Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori (Michaela Coel), an art restorer and former forger, to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access eight unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. The plan is to complete them, then return them to storage, where they are to be “discovered” upon Julian’s death.

    “Terrifically exhilarating and funny, as bracing as a large vodka and tonic before lunch: fast, literate and funny with a key plot progression elliptically and unsentimentally managed.” The Guardian
    “Another solidly gripping film from the ever-prolific Soderbergh, this is a terrific two-hander, with Coel and McKellen on fine, fierce form.” Empire
    “A deliciously sly, twisty, darkly comedic take on the art world starring Ian McKellen who has never been better on film.” The Spectator

    Wednesday 25 November – Midwinter Break            12A       1 hr 30 mins
    Based on the novel by Bernard MacLaverty, who co-wrote the screenplay. An empty-nester couple who relocated to Glasgow from Northern Ireland following a traumatic episode during the Troubles take a trip to Amsterdam. Their marriage is seemingly affectionate and comfortable, but Gerry (Ciaran Hinds) has a not-so-secret drink problem and Stella (Lesley Manville) is unhappy that he does not share her deep Catholic faith. She has a secret agenda for the visit which she has not divulged to him.

    “The performances cannot be faulted. Hinds and Manville skilfully convey a relationship founded on the most fragile of intertwining insecurities.” Irish Times
    “Thoughtful, intimate, and anchored by exceptional performances, it’s a modest and deeply satisfying film that lingers long after it ends.” moviereview
    “Fiercely sad, spiky and wonderfully acted.” The Guardian

    Wednesday 16 December  Rose of Nevada             15          1 hr 44 mins
    30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote Cornish fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew are Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbour, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.

    MacKay and Turner acquit themselves handsomely with many silent stares, tortured looks and grimaces. Like all Jenkin’s films, it looks extraordinary and the deliberately “tinny” post-sync sound only adds to the sense that you are watching something ancient, meaningful and quite magical.” The Times
    “In the hands of a conventional film-maker, this would be a conventional scary movie. . . Jenkin makes of it something more elusive and complex, with a strangeness and enigma present from the beginning; the film appears to be saying that there is something unknowable here even without the time slip. It’s another really bold and distinct statement from Jenkin.” The Guardian
