Screen Time with Nic Jeune
Plaza Cinema Dorchester
Opened on 10th July 1933 and in July 2025 was named the runner-up in a new study into the UK’s best cinemas. This month all the reviews are for films to be screened at The Plaza during August 2025.
The Materialists (2025)
“There’s a bit of quiet courageousness to the movie in its commitment to depth over trying to nakedly appeal to others, and that’s a quality which makes any person—and any film—more desirable.” Slashfilm. Bill Bria.
Nobody 2 (2025)
“Nobody 2 cements Bob Odenkirk’s action hero character as the anti-John Wick. The follow-up to 2021’s Nobody, Nobody 2 looks to be a riff on the family vacation formula that also embraces some big action and wacky fights.” Screen Rant Brandon Zachary
Eddington (2025)
“Its low-level strangeness jumps to surreal and gory heights – and it keeps going higher until it hits a peak of gonzo high-adrenaline fun that leaves you reeling and breathless.” BBC Nicholas Barber
Roses (2025)
“A reimagining of the hit 1989 comedy sees two powerhouse actors playing a couple whose marriage devolves into a hilarious divorce battle.” Vanity Fair Rebecca Ford.
The Life of Chuck (2025)
“The Life of Chuck is a modern fable told with the deftness of a fairy tale, with the sheer exuberance of a musical while exuding the same sense of wonder one gets staring up at the heavens.” Collider. Jason Gorber.
Freakier Friday (2025)
“The magic is back—but this time, it’s freakier than ever. Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna (Lindsay Lohan) are once again caught in a body swap, but there’s a twist: their daughters, Harper and Lily, also find themselves switching places.” Malcolm Hoyle.
