Rye Lane (15)
Dir: Raine Allen Miller 2022 | 82 mins
Yas and Dom are two twenty-somethings both reeling from bad break-ups. They connect over the course of an eventful day in South London, potentially restoring their faith in romance.
'No other British film has, in a generation, done such imaginative work in restructuring romantic comedy. It is one of those rare films the audience didn’t know it really, really needed.' ★★★★★ The Irish Times
'Rye Lane marks the torch not just being passed, but eagerly seized.' ★★★★★ Daily Telegraph
'Will leave you with a smile on your face, a spring in your step and (hopefully) a renewed confidence in next-wave British film-making' ★★★★ The Observer
'It’s a frothy metropolitan comedy with some heyday Richard Curtis energy and a deep affection for its well-crafted and smartly performed characters...' ★★★★ The Times
'The romcom has lapsed into such an anaemic state that Rye Lane feels like a miracle. Here’s an entry into the genre that doesn’t surrender to thinkpiece-ready neuroticism.' ★★★★ The Independent
'Though Rye Lane was made with Disney money, the vibe is more indie-movie / Channel 4 sitcom than slick blockbuster – with a bit of screwball comedy thrown in.' ★★★★ London Evening Standard
'Ridiculously charming, immensely funny, and shot with an unusual zestiness, Rye Lane is purely joyful company - and a shot in the arm for future romantic comedies.' ★★★★ Empire Magazine
'Fun and fresh with an appropriately sweet ending.' ★★★★ Little White Lies

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (12A)
Dir: Hettie Macdonald 2023 | 108 mins
Based on Rachel Joyce’s bestselling novel.
Harold Fry was never meant to be a hero. He’s an unremarkable man who has failed at all the important things: being a husband, a father and a friend.
Now, well into his 60s, he is content to fade quietly into the background of life. But when Harold learns his friend Queenie is dying, he is moved to act.
He leaves home, walking to the post box to send her a letter. Until he realises a letter is not enough. In that moment Harold decides to keep walking, all the way to her hospice, some 500 miles away in Berwick-upon-Tweed. As long as he walks, Queenie must live.
Surprising himself as much as his wife Maureen, Harold embarks on a walk of hope, determined to travel the length of England to save his friend.
'Broadbent is a wonder, so real and sincere it doesn’t feel like acting' The Spectator
'This politely unassuming little film builds into a wrenching examination of grief, guilt and eventual closure' ★★★★ Guardian
‘It’s a non-religious pilgrim story about the power of hope and faith. A movie that celebrates everyday joys and human connection. The perfect pick-me-up tonic for tough times’ ★★★★ Metro
‘One of the great movies about ageing and regret, up there with 45 Years and The Straight Story’ ★★★★ Times

Polite Society (12A)
Dir: Nida Manzoor 2023 | 104 mins
A merry mash up of sisterly affection, parental disappointment and bold action.
Martial artist-in-training Ria Khan believes she must save her older sister Lena from her impending marriage. After enlisting the help of her friends, Ria attempts to pull off the most ambitious of all wedding heists in the name of independence and sisterhood.
‘The pinballing plot is constantly surprising, and both Kansara and Arya sparkle in this kickass celebration of sisterly bonds’ Observer
'Polite Society is definitely a top-three contender for best movie of 2023, and worth watching more than once' ★★★★★ Arizona Republic
'...The film gets right to the emotional heart of a youngster’s quotidian struggles by blasting them through the wildest genre kaleidoscope to hand. In Polite Society's case, that’s martial arts' ★★★★ Daily Telegraph

'This film delivers a spinning back kick of laughs' ★★★★ Guardian

'Manzoor’s film, with a roundhouse kick to the heart, both parodies the generational divide with its fantastical plot and finds sympathy for what makes parents domineering' ★★★★ Independent
'Come for the action and loving send-up of martial arts films, and stay for the sisterly support that shines through' ★★★★ Austin Chronicle
'Still, even at its silliest, the gags have spiky wit, and the emotional heft of adolescence underpins the mayhem' ★★★★ Financial Times

The Blue Caftan (12A)
Arabic with English subtitles.
Dir: Maryam Touzani 2022 | 122 mins
In a Moroccan town Mina runs a small shop selling traditional caftans created by her husband, master tailor Halim.
Their artisanal enterprise struggles in the modern world. Further complications arise when Halim finds himself attracted to the shop’s new apprentice Youssef.
An emotionally complex, richly empathetic depiction of a partnership sustained through storms and challenges.
‘It’s a gentle piece of Arabic-language storytelling, one that softly, slowly enfolds the audience rather than propels them on a journey’ ★★★★ Observer
‘The film, only the second feature that Maryam Touzani has directed, is a stunning portrayal of marital sacrifice and devotion’ ★★★★ The Times
‘... The unapologetically accessible The Blue Caftan is something of a high-class tear-jerker, but of a mature, insightful kind’ ★★★★ Financial Times
‘Intimacy in its purest, most palpable form’ ★★★★ Little White Lies
