FILMS SHOWING Friday August 28 to Thursday September 3

The Diary of a Teenage Girl

18A

"The movie is about becoming, not being judged, and not about judging oneself. Like all tightrope walks, 'The Diary Of A Teenage Girl' is fearless, and often breathtaking. Should be required viewing, and not just for teenage girls." - Time

“Finally, a thoughtful, witty and forthright drama about what it actually feels like for a girl.

Mr. Holmes

"A film more about retirement and regret than questions and answers, it sees McKellen gently, brilliantly expose the frailties of an immortal character." - Total Film

"Director Bill Condon's poignant and witty meditation on memory and ageing dispenses with the usual Holmes trappings. Now 93, retired and living in a ramshackle pile on the cliffs above the English Channel, he spends his time bee-keeping under the increasingly vexed eye of his housekeeper Mrs Munro (Linney) but still finds time to entertain her young son Roger (Parker).

Ricki and the Flash

"'Ricki' is a worthy addition in this year's growing canon of strong female-centred films, and it would be wise to remember Streep's stunning performance come awards season." - Globe & Mail

"Ricki (Meryl Streep) was a wife and mother when she said goodbye to all that and pursued a career as a rock star. She imagined herself as the kind of performer who’d grace the cover of Rolling Stone.
