In this prequel to 101 Dalmatians and before she becomes Cruella de Vil, teenage Estella has a dream. She is gifted with talent, innovation, and ambition and wishes to become a fashion designer. But life seems intent on making sure her dreams never come true. Having wound up penniless and orphaned in London at 12, 10 years later Estella runs wild through the city streets with her best friends and partners-in-(petty)-crime, Horace and Jasper, two amateur thieves. When a chance encounter vaults Estella into the world of the young rich and famous, she begins to question the existence she's built for herself in London and wonders whether she might, indeed, be destined for more after all.
"There’s an unexpectedly huge amount of old-fashioned fun to be had in Disney’s spectacular new origin-myth story." Guardian "Beavan's costumes are dazzling throughout, including Cruella's glittering red dress at the Baroness's gala." BBC |

Pushing thirty, and defined by a hideous crime involving her bosom friend, Nina, emotionally scarred medical school dropout, Cassie, knows firsthand that some wounds never heal. Leading an uneventful existence, still living with her parents, waiting tables at a cheap coffee shop to earn a living, Cassie has found the perfect way to deal with the painful past. Dressed to kill, at night, Cassie frequents the local bars and nightclubs, pretending to be dead-drunk, utterly helpless and vulnerable. And, every week, lethally beautiful Cassie is on the prowl for all sorts of nocturnal predators and other wolves in sheep's clothing who are unaware that, sometimes, the hunter can become the prey. Then, Ryan, a kindly and caring old classmate, enters the picture and Cassie wants out. However, breaking bad habits is easier said than done. Could Ryan be the one?
"Promising Young Woman is an exquisite yet troubling film, altogether knottier than its trailer would have you believe. Shot with playful precision, it is a...psychological drama inside a revenge fantasy inside a romcom." The Independent |

THE LAST BUS CERTIFICATE 12A RUNNING TIME 86 MINUTES START TIME 8 PM |
|
|
A heart-warming tale of Tom (Timothy Spall), a pensioner whose wife Mary (Phyllis Logan) has just passed away, who travels from Britain's most northerly point, John O'Groats, to his original home town at its most southerly point, Land's End. Using his free bus pass, he travels the length of the country carrying only a small suitcase and along the way his adventures are recorded by the people he meets and helps. By the end of his trip he has unwittingly become a social media celebrity.
"The bland symmetry of the story structure – Land’s End, John O Groats and back again; a final promise to keep for a partner now gone; memory lane literally a series of lanes – does a disservice to Spall’s subtle rendering of pain both physical and mental." Telegraph "The film's faith in human nature is noble, but its comforting effect would have been greater if the dialogue hadn't been so stiff." Sunday Times |
