It Was Just an Accident (2025)
3rd September @ 7.30pm. Panahi welds scorching social critique to a masterful command of form: a devastating cry for justice, his latest also serves as a superb thriller. It is a towering achievement. The Film Stage. Leonardo Goi.
Jaws (1975)
12th September @ 5.00pm. When it comes to this kind of thriller, no movie has been able to top Jaws, although many have tried. And, as the years go by, it seems increasingly unlikely that anything will come close.
Reel Views. James Berardinelli.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire. (2019)
17th September @ 7.30pm. Razor-sharp and shatteringly romantic … as perfect a film as any to have premiered this year. IndieWire. David Ehrlich.
Bridport Electric Palace
The Odyssey (2026)
2nd September @ 2.00 pm & 7.30pm
The Odyssey is easily the biggest spectacle you’ll see on-screen all year. The Film Maven. Kristen Lopez.
Yeovil Cineworld
Practical Magic 2 (2026)
18th September. In early 2025 …for a 2026 release, marking Bullock’s highly anticipated return to acting after a four-year hiatus – and the reunion of the original cast nearly 30 years after the first film. The cast includes three Oscar winners: Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Dianne Wiest, and one Oscar nominee: Stockard Channing.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (40th Anniversary).
6th September. This is easily the most absurd of the “Star Trek” stories – and yet, oddly enough, it is also the best, the funniest and the most enjoyable in simple human terms. I’m relieved that nothing like restraint or common sense stood in their way. Chicago Sun-Times. Roger Ebert.
