>> **Programme**
>> **Learn about the latest films**
>>
>> Priya-Rose Brookwell and Dominic McLaughlin in //Grow//. Copyright: 
>> Cinema Live
>>
>> We have added several new films to our programme, a few of which have 
>> already had their Screen Machine premieres. Click each film's title 
>> to watch its trailer.
>>
>> Our current family film is /**Grow**/ 
>> <https://youtu.be/Jbfl-n50f8U?>, a wonderfully warm British comedy 
>> filmed in Scotland. It's about Charlie Little, a young girl with a 
>> special connection to plants. When she goes to live with her 
>> no-nonsense aunt Dinah, she decides to enter the local pumpkin 
>> growing contest. But competition is fierce, and as Charlie and 
>> Dinah's pumpkin grows, so does their bond. Called /**“a delightfully 
>> daft and incredibly charming family film”**/ by Movies We Texted 
>> About, it stars Priya-Rose Brookwell as Charlie and features many 
>> recognisable faces, including Golda Rosheuvel, Nick Frost, Joe 
>> Wilkinson, Jane Horrocks, and Jeremy Swift.
>>
>> Learn about the life of Tourette's spokesperson and Galashiels local 
>> John Davidson in the uplifting and inspirational Scottish biopic /**I 
>> Swear**/ <https://youtu.be/oeWqQN3snCU> (the trailer contains strong 
>> language). It traces the difficulties John faced as a teenager and 
>> young adult when there was little understanding about the condition. 
>> Full of heart and humour, Time Out describes it as, /**“Empathetic, 
>> funny and myth-busting”**/. Featuring a lauded performance by Robert 
>> Amarayo, it contains strong, and at times humorous, language throughout.
>>
>> In /**One Battle After Another**/ <https://youtu.be/feOQFKv2Lw4>, 
>> Leonardo DiCaprio stars as a paranoid ex-revolutionary who must 
>> reunite his old team when his daughter is kidnapped by his old 
>> nemesis, played by Sean Penn. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this 
>> action thriller adapted from Thomas Pynchon's novel 
>> //Vineland// features plenty of humour, and also stars Benicio del 
>> Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor. Empire called it /**“A 
>> stone-cold, instant classic”**/.
>>
>> If you fancy a bit of a fright, you might want to watch /**The 
>> Conjuring: Last Rites**/ <https://youtu.be/bMgfsdYoEEo?>, the latest 
>> film in the terrifying series. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return 
>> as paranormal investigators Lorraine and Ed Warren, who try to help a 
>> family being haunted by a malevolent entity, which may be a demon 
>> connected to Lorraine and Ed's past. Based on a true story from 1980s 
>> Pennsylvania, The Times described it as /**“suitably shiver-inducing”**/.
>>
>> Premiering next weekend is the musical biopic /**Springsteen: Deliver 
>> Me from Nowhere**/ 
>> <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQXdM3J33No> starring Jeremy Allen 
>> White as The Boss himself. Rather than charting Springsteen's whole 
>> life and career, this film focuses on the time he spent tackling his 
>> personal demons, which resulted in Nebraska, considered one of his 
>> best albums. Also starring Stephen Graham as Springsteen's father, 
>> The Wrap calls it /**“A bracing and moving antidote to beefed-up, 
>> heavily fictionalized rock biopics”**/.
>>
>> **Relaxed screenings**
>> **Watch a family film in an adapted environment**
>>
>> We have three relaxed screenings of /**Grow**/ 
>> <https://youtu.be/Jbfl-n50f8U?> currently on sale.
