FILMS SHOWING Friday November 27 to Thursday December 3

Trumbo

14A

Golden Globe nominated! "Trumbo reminds us of a very dark time in America as well as Hollywood. Important but also hugely entertaining. Bryan Cranston nails it." - Deadline Hollywood

“Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) does sterling work in 'Trumbo' as an eloquent screenwriter who bucked the Hollywood blacklist and triumphed. Catnip for fans of old Hollywood, this highly entertaining biopic focuses on so-called 'swimming pool Communist' Dalton Trumbo, who was once Tinseltown’s highest-paid writer.

Steve Jobs

14A

"Michael Fassbender will be in every Best Actor conversation from now until Oscar night (and deservedly so) for his mesmerizing turn as the legendary and legendarily difficult visionary Jobs." - Richard Roeper

"As the demanding, egotistical, vicious, manipulative and prickish genius behind Apple, Michael Fassbender delivers a Steve Jobs who is magnetic in his contemptibility. He threatens subordinates, shoves his family aside, rips apart friendships, carries on a 19-year-long game of emotional abuse with his most loyal confidante and takes credit where little or none is due.

Room

14A

Winner! Oscar for Best Actress (Brie Larson). "It's a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving adaptation of a popular novel, an all-too-rare occurrence in modern Hollywood." Winner, Golden Globe Best Actress

Suffragette

"Heartbreaking and powerfully relevant, Suffragette's greatest achievement is that it gives a full-blooded picture of a struggle not so far removed in time, and still going forth in some corners of the world today." - National Post

"From the neglectful mother in 'Mary Poppins' to prissy spinsters sipping tea in silly hats, suffragettes have long been vilified and mocked in popular culture.

"That these brave women were the foot soldiers in a long and bloody war to win the right to vote has long been either ignored or forgotten.

Living is Easy With Eyes Closed

14A

Special Spanish community screening! "Half a century after The Beatles, here's a Spanish film that reminds us just what that music represented to their first generation of fans - freedom, and a connection with others touched by the same songs, the world over." - Tribune News

“Beatles fans will recognize the title of David Trueba’s award-winning Spanish dramedy as a line from John Lennon’s “Strawberry Fields Forever.” It’s an appropriate title for Trueba’s smart and delightful movie, which follows the touching travels of a 40-ish English-language teacher, Antonio (Javier Cámara), determined to meet Lennon while the la
