Nightingale, The (2019)

Dir. Jennifer Kent

Profound and unsentimental Australian survival drama from director Jennifer Kent (BABADOOK).

An unforgettable film grappling…

Ride Like a Girl (2019)

Judy (2019)

Dir. Rupert Goold
Feat. Renee Zellweger, Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock

Renee Zellweger's thoroughly committed and well-researched portrayal of Judy Garland elevates this biopic set in 1968 during the last year of the actresses life, when she relocates her stage career to London and performs a series of sold out concerts.

Man Who Killed Don Quixote, The (2018)

Dir. Terry Gilliam
Feat. Adam Driver, Jonathan Pryce, Stellan Skarsgard…

Downton Abbey: The Movie (2019)

Dir. Michael Engler
Feat. Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter, Maggie Smith…

Lavish spin-off film following on from events in the TV series, with the same writer and much of the same cast. The Crawley family are visited by King George V and Queen Mary, and an assassin attempts to kill the monarch. Decadent fan-service for those who already know they love it.

Rory's Way (2018)

Dir. Mihal Brezis, Oded Binnun
Feat. Brian Cox, Thora Birch, JJ Feild…

A rugged old Scotsman (a winning performance from Brian Cox) reluctantly leaves his isolated Hebridean island to seek medical treatment in San Francisco, where his life in unexpectedly transformed by connecting with his baby grandson. A gentle, unambitious drama exploring generational divides.

Tolkien (2019)

Dir. Dome Karukoski
Feat. Nicholas Hoult, Lily Collins, Colm Meaney…

An accomplished dramatisation of the formative years of the orphaned author J.R.R. Tolkien (LORD OF THE RINGS) as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school.
