Upcoming films
Monster (2023) | 14th April 2025 (CAPTIONED)
Japan 123 mins Cert: 12
"Monster" by Hirokazu Kore-eda is an exploration of family dynamics and the moral complexities that arise when a child's innocence is challenged. The sensitive direction of Kore-eda (director of last year’s Broker) and the heartfelt performances create a deeply affecting narrative. It received widespread critical acclaim with praise for its screenplay, acting, editing and musical score, appearing in many lists of last year’s top ten year's best films.
Vindication Swim (2022) | 12th May 2025
UK 98 mins Cert: PG
"Vindication Swim" is a compelling biographical drama that dives into the inspiring journey of Mercedes Gleitze, the first British woman to swim the English Channel. With strong performances and evocative storytelling, the film captures both the physical challenges and the emotional triumphs of Gleitze's historic achievement.
