The Christophers, Friday 19 June
‘Terrifically exhilarating and funny, as bracing as a large vodka and tonic before lunch: fast, literate and funny with a key plot progression elliptically and unsentimentally managed.’ Peter Bradshaw The Guardian.
Bridport Arts Centre
Empire of Lies, Saturday 13 June
‘Matthew Hope’s low budget thriller is a exercise in what can be achieved with just two actors, a caravan and a field.’ Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film.
Odeon, Dorchester,
Ocean with David Attenborough
‘So while this is environmental film-making at its most powerful—at times, it comes at you like a sledgehammer blow—crucially, it finds cause for optimism.’ James Jackson, The Times.
Pavillion Weymouth
Normal, Monday 15 and Wednesday 17 June. ‘I thought it was riotously entertaining.’ Mark Kermode, Kermode and Mayo’s Take.
BBC IPlayer
Aftersun
‘Charlotte Wells’s debut feature is a stylistically daring, emotionally piercing and beautifully understated tale of love and loss Wells knows exactly what she’s doing, and her storytelling is as precise as it is piercing.’ Mark Kermode, Observer.
Kidnapped
‘A historical drama about conflicting faiths might sound daunting, but this is immaculately paced and emotionally driven, making the story’s fraught nature tremendously watchable… Kidnapped taps into something deeper than a simple tale of faith; even non-believers will get swept up in its power. This is a feast for the eyes, but it’s the effect on your heart that stays with you long after the film is through.’ Barry Levitt Empire Magazine.
