Adapting his own 2012 hit novel Complètement cramé!, first-time film-maker Gilles Legardinier’s delightful dramedy is highly likely to be this year’s Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris.
John Malkovich plays a recently widowed and burnt-out business leader whose pilgrimage back to the place where he met his late wife lands him an unexpected new role as a butler.
Features a cadre of memorable moments, witty bon mots and a pitch-perfect cast that also includes Fanny Ardant, Émilie Dequenne and Philippe Bas.
As with Mrs. Harris, it’s that there’s substance behind the crowdpleasing swagger and style that means Mr. Blake leaves a mark. There are crises to be overcome, hard edges to be blunted and tough conversations to be had, as both the visitor and the inhabitants of Domaine de Beauvilier have much to learn from one another.
In the end though, it’s simply an opportunity to just immerse yourself in two hours of life-affirming, pure cinematic joy. - James Croot

In French with English subtitles. (PG)

When a Belfast schoolteacher crashes into the orbit of two unpredictable and raucous best-friends, the needle drops on a hip-hop act like no other.

Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh leap onto the screen to play themselves in this heightened comedy-drama about the anarchic group, Kneecap, who become unlikely figureheads of a civil rights movement to save their mother tongue.

Armed with a blend of native Irish and English verses and furious, politically charged rhymes, the trio must overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence their defiant ketamine-fuelled sound. In this fiercely original sex, drugs and hip-hop biopic, also starring Michael Fassbender, KNEECAP is a rollicking trip into the meaning of pure defiance.

In Irish/Gaelic with English subtitles and in English.

In the midst of a family crisis, a washed-up American illusionist and his long-estranged precocious daughter venture into the New Zealand wilderness in search of a mythical black panther.

This is great, emotive, and deeply funny stuff. - Grant Watson

Thoughtful, entertaining, humorous...- Stephen Romei
The Australian

A very cluey, well-crafted father/daughter story nicely wrapped in a wily survival tale about how the tranquility of nature and the intimacy of isolation can be overwhelmed by unpredictable, and well-disguised peril.
Jim Schembri

Delightfully quirky and superbly acted with a charming fantastical approach, Bookworm is a fun adventure film with a lovely message behind it,
