Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 "The Founder" is a drama that tells the true story of how Ray Kroc, a salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. Impressed by the brothers' speedy system of making the food at their San Bernardino hamburger stand and the crowds of patrons it attracted, Kroc immediately saw franchise potential and maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire. And thus McDonald's was born. "The finest Keaton performances of his entire career, maybe the one he's been working his whole life toward." The Globe and Mail "Keaton is firing on all cylinders in The Founder and he makes this electrifying film something to see. Set more than a half century ago, The Founder proves to be a movie for a divisive here and now. Step right up. You might just learn something. God help us." *** Rolling Stone Director: John Lee Hancock Starring: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman USA 2016 Run time: 115 mins | |  | Hunt For The Wilderpeople (12A)

Or they can be purchased on the door Equal parts road comedy and rousing adventure story, this is the tale of defiant foster child Ricky, who goes on the run with his new foster uncle (Sam Neill) after tragedy threatens to tear him away from his new family. As a national manhunt ensues, the newly branded outlaws must face their options: go out in a blaze of glory or overcome their differences and survive as a family "There's brilliant chemistry between Dennison and Neil, the pair quite obviously bouncing off each other; a joy to watch on screen, and as the story progresses you begin to feel like a member of their special pack, gleefully part of the adventure." The Independent. 'We'd call it 'majestical', but as Ricky insists, that's not a word, so we'll have to settle for calling it the best film of 2016.' Empire Magazine.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Celebrated Taxi Driver and Raging Bull director Martin Scorsese returns with his long-awaited passion project: a sweeping and emotional adaptation of Shusaku Endo's acclaimed novel. In the 17th century, young Portugese Jesuit priests Sebastiao Rodrigues and Francisco Garrpe (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) travel to Japan to locate their mentor, Father Cristovao Ferreira (Liam Neeson). On a journey to preach the Gospel and the word of Christ, they come face to face with appalling Christian persecution in an unfamiliar land. One of cinema's most esteemed directors, Martin Scorsese, has been planning this breathtaking adaptation of a literary classic for 20 years. Responsible for masterpieces like Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The King of Comedy and Goodfellas, he's now poised to deliver one of the most intensely personal works of his career, a movie event that's not to be missed. "Silence" is a monumental work, and a punishing one. It puts you through hell with no promise of enlightenment, only a set of questions and propositions, sensations and experiences. ***** Rogerebert.com Returning to themes which have haunted his whole career, Martin Scorsese has made a film of grandeur and great fervour about Christianity, martyrdom and the silence of God **** The Guardian Director: Martin Scorsese Cast: Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson Run time: 161 mins | |  | NT Live: Twelfth Night (12A) Thursday 6th April 7:00pm

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Please note: This film contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. An uplifting true-life drama about the African-American women who played a key role in US space missions. It's 1962 and the space race is on. NASA is determined to beat the Russians in putting a man into orbit around the Earth. But behind the scenes, a trio of pioneering African-American women are responsible for the calculations that will launch John Glenn into space. These "human computers" have to battle against deeply engrained racism and sexism to secure their place in history. Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson) is a brilliant maths prodigy. Team supervisor Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) is kept in her place by a condescending boss (Kirsten Dunst). And Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae) endures an uphill struggle to train as NASA's first black female engineer. From the director of 'St. Vincent', this is an inspirational, feelgood true story of unsung heroes who dared to dream big and refused to be intimidated by the obstacles placed in their way. "Lots of movies are labeled as "inspirational" – Hidden Figures truly earns the right to the term." **** Rolling Stone "one of the year's best films." **** Rogerebert.com Nominated for 3 Academy Awards including Best Picture

But the once grand building has fallen on hard times and looks set to close its doors forever unless Buster can find a way to revive its fortunes. The one idea he has is to put on the world's greatest singing competition – but will he find the next Leona Lewis or the next Honey G? From acclaimed director Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Son of Rambow) comes this charming and hilariously funny animated comedy featuring the voices of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly and Taron Egerton. "Garth Jennings' first animated movie has enough bounce and brio to carry the day. Immensely likeable." **** Empire Magazine "Nobody could take against Sing.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 The team behind the film that defined an era return for this thrilling, equally iconoclastic sequel After 20 years, Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) finally returns home to Edinburgh and reunites with his old pals Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and the psychopathic Begbie (Robert Carlyle). But there's plenty of unfinished business to be dealt with… With its wild kinetic energy, Danny Boyle's adaptation of Irvine Welsh's controversial bestseller 'Trainspotting' exploded onto the big screen 21 years ago. An often shocking black comedy following four self-destructive Scottish lads on a seemingly never-ending bender, it was the most influential British film of the '90s. Fans cried out for a sequel. Now it's finally here, reuniting director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge with the original cast. Based in part on Irvine Welsh's novel 'Porno', this exhilarating ride finds our aging anti-heroes struggling to choose life in a brave new world of zero hours contracts and social media. "Danny Boyle's long-awaited sequel to the era-defining Trainspotting is a vibrant and welcome reunion." **** The Guardian Director: Danny Boyle Cast: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Kelly Macdonald, Shirley Henderson Run Time: 117 mins | |  | The Divide (12A) Wednesday 12th April 7:30pm

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 The Divide tells the story of 7 individuals striving for a better life in modern day US and UK - where the top 0.1% owns as much wealth as the bottom 90%. By plotting these tales together, we uncover how every aspect of our lives is controlled by one factor: the size of the gap between rich and poor. This isn't based on real life. This is real life. Wall Street psychologist Alden wants to make it to the top 1%; Glaswegian rapper Darren just wants to stay sober; Newcastle carer Rochelle wishes her job wasn't looked down on so much; Jen in Sacramento, California, doesn't even talk to the neighbours in her upscale gated community - they've made it clear to her she isn't "their kind". It becomes clear that a higher income doesn't ensure happiness and inequality hurts us all – rich and poor. By weaving these stories with news archive from 1979 to the present day, The Divide creates a lyrical, psychological and tragi-comic picture of how economic division creates social division. The film features high profile commentators including former economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher, Sir Alan Budd, historian Sir Max Hastings, economist Ha-Joon Chang, Noam Chomsky and epidemiologist Sir Michael Marmot. The Divide serves as both a call to arms, and a powerful warning. The film is inspired by the critically- acclaimed, best-selling book "The Spirit Level" by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett. This screening is supported by Oswestry Equality Group and The Equality Trust. There will be an informal discussion in the bar area after the screening.

Self-regarding, gravel-voiced Bruce Wayne (Will Arnett) - aka Batman - remains the toast of Gotham City. But each night, he returns to the Batcave alone. His faithful manservant Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) suggests that this illustrious master builder and crime-fighter's greatest fear is of being part of a family once more. The solution is to raise the orphan he adopted, Dick Grayson (Michael Cera), to become his superhero sidekick Robin. But the over-excited boy wonder proves quite a handful. Meanwhile, police commisioner Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson) wants Batman to join her law enforcement team just as highly-strung, self-styled greatest foe The Joker (Zach Galifianakis) rears his cackling head. Will Arnett reprises his wonderful voice performance from the hit 'Lego Movie' for this witty animated comedy that places Batman centre stage - where he feels he belongs!

Helen (Joan Collins), once a famous Hollywood icon, is living a comfortable life in a London retirement home. On hearing the news that her ex-beau has passed away, she decides she's had enough of her hum-drum life, and decides to gate crash his funeral, based in the luxurious Ile-de-Re, in Western France.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Isabelle Huppert gives an unforgettable performance in Paul Verhoeven's provocative thriller about one woman's response to a violent attack. French icon Isabelle Huppert Рwho can switch from scathing to playful with a liminal quiver of her upper lip Рgives a staggering performance as Mich̬le Leblanc, the director of a video game company who is raped in her own parlour by a masked assailant. Giving no immediate sign of distress and taking what appears to be a deliberate pleasure in shrugging off the terrifying incident, she locks the door after her attacker and gets on with life. Mich̬le is a woman who mocks the idiocy of others and enjoys her own power, especially her capacity to disrupt. When her attacker insinuates himself into her psyche via a series of text messages, there is a whisper of fear, but she soon flicks it to 'game on'. American writer David Birke's screenplay (translated back into French) is persistently ambiguous and ironic, avoiding the easy psychology and obvious motivations of the rape revenge fantasy for something far more textured and sophisticated in its treatment of desire and control. It is full testament to the collaboration between Verhoeven and Huppert that they expertly navigate amorality and sustain a permanent state of suspense, mischief and challenge. Clare Stewart - BFI "Verhoeven creates a bonfire of a movie that scrutinizes and satirizes the unholy alliance between sex and violence. The result is fiendishly funny and fiercely disturbing." ***** Rolling Stone Magazine "Isabelle Huppert delivers a standout performance as a woman turning the tables on her attacker in the controversial director's electrifying and provocative comeback." ***** The Guardian Winner of The Golden Globe for Best actress In a Motion Picture. Nominated for The Academy Award for Best Actress In a Leading Role.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Perhaps the film of the year, Moonlight is a revelation. It tells its beautiful, vital and devastating story in three acts. Meet Little, a young African-American boy in Miami who lives with his drug- addicted mother and deals with his frequent victimisation at school by befriending local drug dealer Juan. Revisit him as teenager Chiron, who lashes out when he becomes unable to cope; and finally as Black, an adult whose hardened exterior belies his extreme vulnerability and who dreams of reconnecting with childhood friend Kevin. Artistically striking and viscerally powerful, Moonlight is a breathtaking achievement, an unforgettable film and feels like a landmark in the portrayal of blackness (especially black gay masculinity) onscreen – a story you haven't seen before, at least not like this. "A disarmingly, at times almost unbearably personal film and an urgent social document,a hard look at American reality and a poem" A. O. Scott, The New York Times "A thrilling, deeply necessary work" ***** Benjamin Lee, The Guardian 8 Oscar Nominations including Best Picture & Best Director Winner of the Academy award for Best Motion Picture Director: Barry Jenkins Cast: Naomie Harris, Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Trevante Rhodes, Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders, André Holland US 2016 Run time: 1 hour 51 mins | |  | Meres & Mosses Mediamakers:

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Prompted by Don Alfonso, a cynical old philosopher, two young idealists decide to put their lovers' fidelity to the test. But love will teach them a bitter lesson: those who believe themselves phoenixes and goddesses will discover the desires of the flesh… In 1790, one year after the French Revolution, in what would be their final collaboration, Mozart and Da Ponte conduct a scientific investigation of love. The music of Così fan tutte is truly extraordinary – complex in its symmetry, jovial and yet infused with an almost sacred melancholia. An extraordinary score where each note seems intended to make us accept a loss – lost paradise, lost youth, or a lost loved-one – and portray a world where all is in a constant state of flux. This laboratory of eroticism could but inspire choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who excels in revealing a work's innermost geometry on stage. With six singers doubled by six dancers, she depicts the desire which unites and separates human beings, like the interactions between atoms that, once broken, make new bonds possible.

Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Viceroy's House, the Gurinder Chadha film tells the true story of the final months of British rule in India. Viceroy's House in Delhi was the home of the British rulers of India. After 300 years, that rule was coming to an end. For 6 months in 1947, Lord Mountbatten (played by Hugh Bonneville), great grandson of Queen Victoria, assumed the post of the last Viceroy, charged with handing India back to its people.
The film's story unfolds within that great House. Upstairs lived Mountbatten together with his wife (Gillian Anderson) and daughter (Lily Travers); downstairs lived their 500 Hindu, Muslim and Sikh servants. As the political elite - Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi - converged on the House to wrangle over the birth of independent India, conflict erupted. A decision was taken to divide the country and create a new Muslim homeland: Pakistan. It was a decision whose consequences reverberate to this day.
The film is deeply personal to the director Gurinder Chadha, whose own family was caught up in the tragic events that unfolded as British rule came to an end. Her film examines those events through the prism of a marriage - that of Dickie and Edwina Mountbatten - and a romance - that between a young Hindu servant, Jeet (Manish Dayal), and his intended Muslim bride, Aalia (Huma Qureshi). The young lovers find themselves caught up in the seismic end of Empire, in conflict with the Mountbattens and with their own communities, but never ever giving up hope… Director: Gurinder Chadha - Cast: Gillian Anderson, Manish Dayal, Michael Gambon
