FILMS SHOWING Friday September 4 to Thursday September 10

Mistress America

14A

"Mistress America is the kind of screwball comedy Ernst Lubitsch or Preston Sturges would have loved, and there's no finer praise than that." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star

"Zippy, sharp and monstrously smart, Mistress America is not only Noah Baumbach’s funniest film, but the best comedy of the year.

tickets & information

"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.

Turbo Kid

STC

"With nods to Mad Max and a fun synth soundtrack, Turbo Kid packs plenty of retro affection and loopy fun." - Toronto Star

"Either inspired (or traumatized) by a decade in which the Maxes were mad, post-apocalyptic landscapes were made in Australia and Bonnie Tyler was in severe need of a hero, the Canadian trio of Yoann-Karl Whissell, Anouk Whissell and François Simard have made a blood-fountaineering, retro-futuristic action-comedy for the ages.

Shaun the Sheep

"Smart, funny, big-hearted, endlessly inventive and quintessentially British, this timeless, stop-motion adventure is a 'shear' delight from start to finish." - Daily Star

"This delightful stop-motion animated romp features no dialogue, which is as it should be – the beauty of animals is in their actions, not words, after all.

Love & Mercy

14A

"It’s a refreshing surprise to find Love & Mercy, a story about the pop icon Brian Wilson from two ends of his life, break the mold and even invigorate the form.” LA Times

“Love & Mercy, the bizarre story of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, is one of the most touching — and gripping — biopics you will ever see.

Madame Bovary

14A

"Breathes life into a classic story... a must for lovers of period drama and stunning visuals." Based on the novel by Gustave Flaubert.

"Sophia Barthes’ Madame Bovary is a beautiful period adaptation of Gustav Flaubert’s novel that deals with its complicated heroine in a way that is both understanding and honest. The cinematography truly stands out as the star, making this film into a visual delight.
