Platform FIlms presents

(UK 2023, 80mins)

Alexei Sayle narrates “a story of deceit and anti-Semitism smears. Uncovers the central role played by Labour leader Keir Starmer. Can Corbyn rise again.”

 

Mothering Sunday

Dir. Eva Hussen (UK 2021 110mins 15)

Excellent acting from Colin Firth and Olivia Colman in a slow-burning, gut-wrenching atmospheric romantic period drama based on the Graham Swift novel.

Emily

Dir. Frances O’Connor (UK 2022 125mins 15)

An imagined Emily Bronte brought to life in a very good biographical period drama with a wonderous central performance (Emma Mackay), excellent first-time direction and great visuals. Hugely enjoyable.

Decision to Leave

Dir. Park Chan-Wook (Korea 2022 139mins 15)

One of the best of the last year - snubbed by the Oscars but a winner everywhere else. A twisted, obsessive, Hitchcockian-style romantic mystery. A detective investigating a man’s death falls for the dead man’s wife/suspect.

Aftersun

Dir: Charlotte Wells (UK 2022, 101 mins 12) 

The Banshees of Inisherin

Dir. Martin McDonagh (Ireland 2022, 114 mins, cert 15)

Identifying Features

Dir. Fernanda Valadez (Mexico/Spain 2021 99mins 15)

 

Audience award winner at Sundance is a striking magical realist take on migration as a mother searching for her son lost at the border gradually descends into desperation.

The Good Boss

Dir. Fernando Leon de Aranoa (Spain 2022 120mins 15)

 

Spanish Oscar entry is a wickedly funny workplace satire with a powerhouse performance from Javier Bardem as the good guy/rogue owner of a company that manufactures scales.

 

A Bunch of Amateurs

 

If you missed this at our October Film Weekend at Hepworth. . .  don't miss it this time round (out on general release soon, out in the Holme Valley first)

 

Dir. Kim Hopkins (UK 2022 95mins 12)
