Having turned his back on his supervillain ways, Gru is now happily
married to Lucy Wilde as they raise their children (and the Minions) in
suburbia. But the family must enter the witness protection programme
when Maxime Le Mal, an old supervillain rival of Gru’s, plans to conquer
the world by turning everyone into cockroaches. Due to an old grudge, he
specifically wants to transform Gru and Lucy’s son, Gru Jr.
Trying to live the incognito life under a new name, Gru and his family
(and the Minions) must adapt to their new surroundings, all while hoping
to evade and stop Maxime from enacting his cruel plans.
Featuring the manic and chaos-prone Minions, this latest entry in the
lauded */Despicable Me/* franchise is a rollercoaster of slapstick
family humour and silly gags.
*/“a superb mix of slapstick action, family-based comedy and blissful
silliness, peppered with witty references to a range of movies”/*
Shadows on the Wall
*/“Offering heart and Minion-induced hilarity, this is another solid –
if familiar – entry in the Despicable saga”/* Total Film
*/“stuffed to the gills with jokes”/* Screen International
U: very mild comic violence, threat, language, rude humour
Joker: Folie a Deux
(15) 138 mins
Director: Todd Phillips
Cast: Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson,
Catherine Keener

Arthur Fleck is on trial for his deadly murder spree as Joker that
inspired disaffected citizens to violently riot across Gotham. His
lawyer hopes an insanity plea will provide Arthur with the help he
needs, while the ambitious new district attorney, Harvey Dent, is
determined to convict Fleck no matter what so he can boost his name and
profile.
In Arkham Asylum, Arthur bonds with fellow inmate Harleen Quinzel during
musical therapy. Falling head over heels for each other, the two express
their heady love through fantastical musical numbers. As Arthur embraces
these potent shared delusions, he starts to wonder whether he should
disregard his lawyer’s advice and fully embody his homicidal Joker persona.
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga give strong, raw performances in this
sequel to the multi award-winning /*Joker*/. Like its predecessor, it
evokes the grim and dark tones of Martin Scorsese’s earlier work, but
adds an unsettling musical twist as its characters blur the line between
reality and violent fantasy.
*/“just as edgy and disturbing as its forerunner, replicating the idea
of modern American cities as terrifying powder kegs perpetually on the
cusp of explosion.”/* The Independent
/*“It’s a sad, pensive, and impressively odd motion picture that uses
the theatricality of movie musicals to undermine its hero’s ambitions
instead of elevating them.”*/ TheWrap
/*“As sweet and beguiling a musical romance as it’s possible to have
between two murderous psychopaths.”*/ Empire
/*“that rare sequel that meets – if not surpasses – the quality of its
predecessor”*/ Metro
15: strong violence, language, brief sex

*Captioned for the deaf and hard of hearing.*
*We will screen the short film /Shadowplay/ (7 mins) by Street Level
Photoworks before the main feature.*
Upon the outbreak of World War 2, former model Lee Miller signs up to be
a photojournalist for Vogue Magazine. The growing conflict is a world
away from the excess and luxury of Lee’s previous career, but her time
as a model has taught her the transactional power of photography,
allowing her to capture striking images with details most of her male
counterparts can’t see.
Despite this, Lee struggles to be taken seriously, and must fight for
her place on the frontlines. Alongside fellow photojournalist and friend
David E. Scherman, she is determined to document the terrible cost of
the conflict. As the Nazis retreat and she ventures deeper into Europe,
she bears witness to the horror and atrocities of war and the Third Reich.
Kate Winslet gives a compelling performance as the tough and magnetic
model-turned-photographer Lee Miller. Based on her remarkable life, this
sobering biographical drama tells the incredible story of a unique and
brave woman who used her talents to convey the brutal nature of war to
the world at large.
*/“a handsomely made, moving biopic of a subject who deserves to be
honoured — with stellar chemistry and performances from Kate Winslet and
Andy Samberg”/* Empire
/*“A satisfyingly textured portrait of a remarkable and unusual woman”*/
Screen International
/*“Winslet powerfully conveys Miller’s tough-broad magnetism”*/ The Guardian
/*“one of Winslet's best roles”*/ Kermode and Mayo’s Take

36 years after she nearly married the bio-exorcist Betelgeuse, AKA
Beetlejuice, Lydia Deetz is now a supernatural talk show host, produced
by her arrogant boyfriend, Rory. As she begins to see visions of
Betelgeuse, she must return to Winter River to attend her father’s funeral.
After the funeral, Lydia reluctantly accepts a marriage proposal from
Rory, causing her estranged daughter Astrid to run off in distress.
Astrid encounters a mysterious man who is revealed to be a ghost trying
to return to the land of living. After Astrid journeys with him into the
afterlife, Lydia discovers startling details about the man. Lydia must
call on Betelgeuse to save her daughter, but there is one thing he wants
in return - her hand in marriage.
Your favourite bio-exorcist is back to cause more chaos and hijinks to
the land of the living in this hilarious, long-awaited sequel to the
cult classic /*Beetlejuice*/.
/*“A better-than-expected legacy sequel with its heart in the right
place.”*/ Slate
*/"Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is pure Burton, passionate, untethered, and
indulgent. Fans of the original movie will have plenty of reason to
cheer, and even more to cackle.”/* Mashable
/*“surpasses the original in almost every respect”*/ BBC

Rona is an alcoholic who has lived a life of excess in London. Following
the end of her relationship, she loses herself in her addiction until a
violent encounter leads to her entering rehab. In an effort to maintain
her sobriety, she returns to her home in Orkney. There she clashes with
her religious mother and works on her father’s farm, helping him through
his bipolar episodes.
Struggling to adjust to her sober life, Rona moves to the more remote
Papa Westray, where the wild beauty of the island contrasts with her
fractured memories of London. As past and present converge, Rona
connects with both herself and her surroundings, and finally starts to
see a future worth living one day at a time.
Based on Amy Liptrot’s memoir of the same name, Saoirse Ronan gives a
powerful and emotional performance in this moving drama about addiction
and generational trauma. Filmed on Orkney, the islands are depicted in
stunning visuals.
*/“An exceptional performance from Saoirse Ronan powers this affecting,
slow-moving drama about addiction and hope./*” Total Film
*/“Saoirse Ronan is remarkable in a sensitive recovery drama”/* The Guardian
*/“a stirring reminder of the human capacity to regroup, to accept a
bitter past and anticipate a better future”/* Vanity Fair

Longtime friends Martha and Ingrid have drifted apart, living different
lives as a war journalist and an author. Following a terminal cancer
diagnosis, Martha reaches out to Ingrid, but with a stipulation - that
Ingrid is nearby when Martha takes a euthanasia pill. While Ingrid
wonders why Martha didn’t choose someone closer to her, she agrees.
Martha says she will always leave her bedroom door open, except when she
takes her pill. The two reconnect by discussing memories, interest, and
a past love, but skirt around Martha’s situation. As they reflect on
their lives and mortality, their relationship strengthens, and Ingrid
hopes to find a way to articulate everything before Martha’s door shuts
forever.
Adapted from the novel /What Are You Going Through/ by Sigrid Nunez, and
winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, Tilda Swinton and
Julianne Moore give emphatic performances in this drama from renowned
director Pedro Almodóvar, who handles the subjects of death and
euthanasia with thoughtful consideration.
/*“Almodóvar’s discourse on death is teeming with life.”*/ Total Film
*/“The Room Next Door isn't a weighty philosophical work – as mature as
it is, it still has glimmers of cheeky humour and campy melodrama. But
it develops into a sweetly heartfelt reflection on ageing…”/* BBC
*/“The movie is all about death, yet in the unblinking honesty with
which it confronts that subject, it’s powerfully on the side of life.”/*
Variety
*/“a substantial achievement”/* Screen International
12A: infrequent strong language, drug misuse, moderate threat, upsetting

The McKinleys, The Ettes, Strawberry Switchblade, Sophisticated Boom
Boom, Twinsets, His Latest Flame, Sunset Gun, Lungleg, Pink Kross, Sally
Skull, Hello Skinny and The Hedrons.
Ignored by the industry and deprived of the global success afforded to
the male-dominated bands of the day, /*Since Yesterday: The Untold Story
of Scotland’s Girl Bands*/ is a celebration of the women and the music
of yesteryear, and a rallying cry to the female talent of tomorrow.
Blending personal anecdotes with a scrapbook-style audio-visual
aesthetic, */Since Yesterday/* takes you on a decade-by-decade
adventure, crafting the ultimate visual mixtape. Discover unheard demos,
lost archives, and rare performances that celebrate the Game Changers,
Trailblazers, Popstars, Post Punks and Pioneers who never compromised,
and subsequently got lost in time.
The film takes a critical look at the barriers women have faced making
music in the past, and still face today. It asks how we can inspire
young women to make music, if those who do so are continuously erased
from our cultural history. Written and narrated by award-nominated
musician Carla J. Easton, this is a powerful global story told through a
local lens.
/*“This fascinating documentary highlights a sexist, London-centric
music industry”*/ NME
*/“Carla J. Easton and Blair Young team up to tell a vibrant but
enraging story of the great girl bands from Scotland that should be on
teenage bedroom walls across the country but aren't”/* The Skinny
*/“a smash hit”/* The Herald
